    I think a second aspect of reduced revenues is because the quality of mainstream music is declining....or maybe I'm just getting old.

    Enh, people aren't that into 'paying for stuff' they feel isn't fairly priced, when they can avoid it. This trend will get worse and worse, like Kurt Loder and them used to say back in the Napster days.


    I think getting rid of DRM at iTunes might help, since the 'business model' (referring to people actually willing to pay) is so obvious going in that direction.

    @reckoner71: I like the video and the track. This is the only song I requested during my New Year celebration, the Echo Park dj looked at me like I was a damn fool. "He is the one who is foolish," I thought to myself.

    Have you seen the video of Kathy Griffin and the Coop talking and then their mikes are left on and she tells him to "knock the dicks out of his mouth"? Watch to the very end.

    @Mediahohoho: hmmmm, yep, my resolution is already in pieces on the floor. Just for the sake of argument, we'll say it was at 9:30 AM Pacific time when the deed was done. Given that i woke up around 6 AM, went back to bed around 7 AM, only to emerge again around 9:25, that would give me a total of sixty-five minutes to be awake in 2009 before i trashed my resolution. heavy sigh.
