LA’s first DIY label creator offers his opinions on digital music and the current state of the music industry.
The new guy is on a mission to explore websites where users can upload/download music and tell you about some undiscovered, unsigned talent whose music is floating in the cybernetic ether of the internet.
Last year, U.S. compact disc sales plunged by 19%. With the consumer today facing pressure from all sides, chances are that 2008 will be even worse.

With its name-your-price approach, Radiohead made people feel that they owed the group something and that indebtedness, however manifested, only led to better buzz and more goodwill.

However, what really irks me about him is his distaste for anything he perceives as non-mainstream.

Are we really at the point where the commoners and freeloaders get the basics for free and the dedicated fans fork over $$$ for the deluxe set? Absolutely we are.
The music industry does not want to support the compact disc, but is in the unenviable position of having to.
