Some Thoughts About The Music Industry
This morning I was spurned into tweeting a lot about the music industry because of the article below:
I think Agnes has good potential to break international markets; I really think she can. But some details of the article piqued my attention because they seemed incorrect. So I did some digging, and eventually spent the day tweeting about the music industry in general.
The tweets are as follows:

The Case For The Almost-Extinct Music Album
In the old days which are too recent for us to say they were 'the old days', you could only get your favorite music by listening to the radio, or buying a music product, whether it was a vinyl, cassette or CD). So, either you could wait all day for your favorite song to be played on the radio (or join a song request show), or you could spend some cash to buy a music product.
This music product, in the music industry, is known as a physical music product; as it is music kept and delivered in a physical thing (as opposed to digital music product, which would be basically a computer file).
The music industry - which would be the record labels, the recording companies, the distribution companies, and the music retail companies - exerted almost total control on channels of music consumption. They would plan what would be released on the radio and when, and make sure that by the time that the song is popular, the finished physical product would be ready in music retail stores for people to buy. Needless to say, this method created a lot of wealth for the music industry.

To Be Fair, The Jacket (And Pants) Weren't White
So one day I was at a wedding; a friend came wearing a suit jacket with the sleeves rolled up.
I said, "Hey, what is this, your Sonny Crockett look?"
His friend said, "Oh, is he one of those new pop artists?"
