There is a series of great interviews that just went up over on the Wired Magazine website between David Byrne and a number of different music biz people. It's a great read, or listen. There are audio clips scattered throughout the pages of Byrne having conversations with Thom Yorke, Brian Eno, Mac McCaughan (Merge Records) and a bunch of dudes who manage Radiohead. I love actually hearing a discussion between people, as opposed to just reading a transcription of the words. The overall theme of the discussion is the current climate in the music industry and what it's like for emerging artists now as opposed to the past. The people he was able to interview about the subject is what makes this such an interesting read/listen. Check it out:

i gotta say dave nice blog man.really.
i was thinking about this the other day what thom said:"You're valuing the company or the interest of the artists rather than the music itself".that totally makes sense.and also about now,in general are people really seeing music for what it is?but i think we live in a real disposable society and the way music is reflects our society in general.i think that made sense...:D haha
