8 interesting points

...and not forgetting "the utter utter utter tripe the music industry has been peddling in lieu of innovative and interesting artists since at least the early 90s".

Agree 100% with point 8, I have a cupboard full of albums yet there are very few (relatively) that I can play all the way through and without wanting to skip a track or 2 somewhere, I have quite a lot of albums where I only play 1 or 2 tracks. This increased with the advent of CD where the record companies insisted on 14 or more tracks on an album to justify the £12 or £13 they wanted for the new format back in 86/87 when I bought my first CD. I suppose that was the start of the final chapter.
These days I prefer to try before I buy , cuts down on a lot of junk that perhaps I would only play once or twice out of curiosity.

Apart from point 8, biggest bull I have heard of late.

He completely misses the point in that the mainstream music industry, as always was too late to jump the digital technology.

People buy more games? People don't have enough money? Arse! A kid these days spends more money in a DAY than we did in a whole month. They all need these gadgets like cellphones, iPods etc, and then they think music is for free.

Want some interesting and founded views?

... in order to keep to or even re-invent traditions as outworn as destructive
and instead of supporting developments that might have gone beyond their
control and profit ... I'm so glad, I don't need public radio any longer ...

No different the car industry ... unfortunately, more effective
means of transportation are not really in sight ...
