The only problem with this article is that he doesn't say how this going to happen. Yes for sure we are in the revolution of How we listen to music, but still the question: Where the f&?%@ the musician can get a living ? There is so many who wants this badly but a few who survive.

True, all the more so as 900,000 songs do not really promote independent, unknown artists. They might need to do so to increase - dramatically - their catalogs.

"Jim McDermott spent nearly seventeen years at major labels like Polygram, Universal Music Group, and Sony Music Entertainment, starting with Warner/Elektra/Atlantic Distribution in 1987. Here, McDermott describes a radically different approach to retailing, one that may completely surprise you. And, make you wonder whether the current approach towards digital retailers really makes sense." Delete the scoop?

"The industry has been slow to develop a new generation of artists, instead relying on so-called “heritage” artists like The Eagles and Madonna for large sales numbers. Since grunge was the biggest genre trend in the past 20 years or so (musical trends used to come every 6 to 13 years), it can be said that the industry is long overdue for something new. But with less artist development than ever before, when will this happen?" Delete the scoop?

"It’s funny that. The way everyone is obsessed with the monetisation of music. Or content in general, if you prefer. I’m not saying it’s wrong. But the focus is such that it takes content for granted. As if it was something that just self-generated out of nowhere. Abracadabra! Here you go: content! More content!

Problem with stream services is that the offer is more for the user end than the artist. I use to be amaze by ''the long Tail'' theory (back then) keeping in mid that being refer could get you known and probably famous. But stil there is just too much offering, too much artist. I am not saying that the old model was great (in fact, i am happy about the changes), just that artist are getting less and less attractive because they are repeating what we already seen and heard. We are going through an amazing changing curve, but we somehow need the ''new MTV'' that will change the way we see and feel music.
