I know this is a somewhat inflammatory headline, but in my belief, it has a lot of merit. Before my switch to blogging and technology entrepreneurship, I spent three wonderful years in the music business. As the CEO of Exonerated PR & Management (XPR), a music mark

I think record companies will die with technology too, and artists will just start hosting their own music, the same way newspapers host their own news.

technology won't kill good music. it gives tools to artists in a state of independence.
death of 'music industry' could result in more good music. i don't think it would hurt cd baby, or the residents (band) for example.

The managing or the "administrative" duties of promoting the band, the music etc get in the way of the creative process.
But then if there is too much "management", then there go the profits.
Is there a middle ground? Enough to take away the "management" burden from the band, but not too much that that the profits vanish?
The "man" and the "individual" need to work together, so that both "profit" and that we (the buyers) win too.
Excellent article Calley. Thanks.

i heard a reference that less than 1% of independent films (made without any studio financing) actually make it into theaters.
lots of creative films rarely seen are just waiting for smart people to help market and monetize... same with music.
seems like there is more opportunity than ever for business folks, artists and engineers to collaborate to distribute great art and music.

I think Magdalene Amat's comment is right on the money. There is clearly a resource gap.
While it's been proven that artists can circumvent labels with great success there is so much more to it than just laying down tracks and putting them on iTunes (or whatever) as you mentioned.
I see an opportunity for an exciting business sector to form here - one that would manage the business aspects of an artist's career but still leave the artist with the creative control. This provides independence from the "fat cats" who are just interested in what will sell today and keeps the fans stocked with great music.
The expansion of alternate distribution and marketing channels is another key advantage - but again should be managed by support staff - not the artist.
I can't wait to hear more from you on this topic. Again, great article.
