Music business 2013


What's next


OK, let me get my crystal ball going.  It's been a long ever changing, morphing, mysterious  year for the music world. As I reflect back at the mountain of opinions, the disagreements on where things are going,it becomes apparent no one owns a crystal ball. So instead of making predictions, what you say we talk about the things we know for sure are happening, and the changes that are coming?

Record labels are getting smaller, radio is shrinking, CDs are going the way of the 8 track, Eps and downloads are the wave you can ride for now. Mobile surfing of the web is swallowing up the PC, while mobile surfing today is at a whopping 64 percent, and growing extemporaneously. Some estimates are saying as high as 90 percent of web surfing will be on mobile devices by the end of 2014. Even if their wrong that is huge!

Everyone one in the advertisement world are shaking there heads while trying to figure where the ad buck is going, There's a new pie being baked and it's not quite clear where to slice it. The money hasn't gone anywhere , there are still literally, billions of bucks looking for a home.. Wouldn't you like some of them to move in with you? Pay attention, remember their still house hunting. You just have to fit the buyer to the home.

Music it self is going through a subtle but needed change. It seems like the public is yearning for the day of the true artist to revive. There seems to be an unrest at the overly produced , cookie cutter stuff the record labels are blanketing the public with. Support creativity, by supporting the indie artist. One thing that annoys me is when I hear people screaming for new fresh stuff, and then find out they are not supporting the indie music. These artist make their music because they love it and they are true to their art.. They have to eat too!

Are you a music potato? Do you sit on your duff listen but not support the music community? Just saying.
