so I went on YouTube for a couple of days and just sat on it for hours. I was starting to think I was never going to find anybody. I had to walk away from the computer and let what I heard sink in because it sounded too good to be true. I thought, ‘he can’t be that good.’

Warner Music is totally screwed
Warner’s revenue was flat, while earnings fell by almost 60% to just $5M — and that’s on total sales of almost $900M, which works out to a profit margin of about 0.5%.
dead.
Microsoft Car
SYNC combines the often separate phone and music-player functions into one unified interface that can be controlled by a voice-recognition system that works well. You can command it by voice to play a single song out of 1000s on your iPod or other music player. With some phones, it will even read your incoming text messages to you, and properly pronounce text-message shortcuts such as LOL

It was a perfectly calibrated use of the delayed-resolution device. I associate the concept with Wagner, since a professor pointed it out to me in Tristan und Isolde – the music never resolves until the opera’s end, maintaining a feeling of unsettlement throughout.
Heh. My best clubbing experience ever also had this sloooow crescendo, where they would build things up for about 2 hours before they reached 11. It makes you angry and hopeful as you suffer towards resolution 🙂
Tecno Brega
The music lies outside the realm of traditional copyright. Every weekend the “sound system” parties attract 1000s of people to listen to the Tecno Brega music. The parties are advertised by the distribution of the music itself.
Convenience Wins
8 years. How much opportunity have we lost in those 8 years? How much naivety and hubris did we have when we said, “if we build it they will come”? What did we spend? And what did we gain? We certainly didn’t gain mass user adoption or trust, 2 prerequisites to success on the Internet.
Another shot across the bow for the music industry. I wonder how many they will need before it all comes crashing down.
