WWL: The Music Industry's New Groove

Making and accessing music has never been easier.
Published: June 26, 2009 - 3:05pm

In a 2002 New York Times article, David Bowie said that “music itself is going to become like running water or electricity….it doesn’t matter if you think it’s exciting or not; it’s what is going to happen.” Now, seven years later, the music industry has continued its rapid metamorphosis. Often referred to as an industry in crisis, coming up Where We Live, we’ll be talking with writers and innovators who say the business of making music has never been better. Ignore the closed up Virgin MegaStore in cities across the country—listening to and making music is still big business. David Kusek, author of The Future of Music: Manifestor for the Digital Music Revolution joins us to talk about the new truths that govern the music world.  Also, The founders of Pandora and TuneCore chime in and we'll be joined in-studio by  WNPR’s own Anthony Fantano.
