David Byrne interview in Wired

Post by 53mph » Wed Jan 02, 2008 7:53 am

I've just finished reading David Byrne's interview in Wired magazine-on-line about the state of the music business and discussing Radiohead's decision to release their last album on line with no price tag. For all aspiring artists, it makes interesting reading, though I'm sure some of you more industry savy members will have heard most of it before.For anyone interesed the link is here.http://www.wired.com/entertainment/musi ... age=1Byrne "Calling the product music is like selling a shopping cart and calling it groceries." There's also an interview by Byrne with Thom Yorke for the geek-fans out there.Thom Yorke "In terms of digital income, we've made more money out of this record than out of all the other Radiohead albums put together, forever"
