Wired has posted a great article by David Byrne (one of my absolute favorite artists): David Byrne’s Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists and Megastars.
It’s a great overview of the changing landscape of the music industry, that also includes great insights on the nature of music as a social phenomenon (read the What is Music section).
Highly recommended, and I haven’t even listened to the audio interviews that are also available, nor have I read David Byrne’s interview of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, in the same issue.
