It’s moments like this that make me pause and wonder why the whole music industry is not imploding faster.
Who’s making it work in music? People with talent. People who are using the web as a compliment to their studio work and live performances (Dave Matthews Band, Cowboy Junkies, Pearl Jam, Metallica and many others!).
