There is an upside to digital – one day soon everything is going to be available at a click of a button. The issue won’t be access to music, as it was in our youth, but managing the music that is available. Right now there’s a cost but there won’t be soon – for one thing, they’ll find ways of incorporating adverts into free music streams. So when some hipster teen hears Alex Turner talk about Scott Walker on a podcast, he or she will have almost immediate access to Scott 1-4, Jacques Brel, and everything else. And the kids won’t think this is unusual.
I’m totally with Bananas in not trusting digital but I recognise that my way of thinking belongs to the age of the dinosaurs!Statistics: Posted by Johnny Anarchy — Thu Jul 31, 2008 8:16 pm
