David Byrne’s Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists — and Megastars
There is nothing new under the sun
This isn't really a new blog entry in that the article being referenced is from late last year, and in fact, I discussed it back then with my music friends. However, the topic of "360 deals" has come up a lot lately so I looked for this article to get a clearer definition (unfortunately, that does not mean I've been offered a 360 deal, not that I would take one!).
My favorite parts of the article are right at the beginning, where he talks about what the music business is today (second paragraph), and the sections "What is music?" and "What do record companies do?" The entire article is worth reading however, whether you're just starting out or if you're a "megastar."
