acqui hire about wanting talent, not business - often non acqui hires _wanted_ business, which fails, put on shelf, attempt to salvage talent for other uses, helps justify error

but wait... my youngest daughter is getting a record player and buying vinyl
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I don't expect anybody to tackle the above issues. The labels are run by old men who want instant paydays and the acts are all chasing the bankers and their private planes and the unwashed wannabes want it to be easy, like reality television. As for the techies, they were never about the music, just extracting the revenue of what exists. And believe me, we don't have a technology problem, we've got an artistic problem, married to a marketing problem.
So this is what's gonna happen. We're gonna continue to plod along until someone does it differently. It will probably be an act. It might be a new genre of music. The tunes will come first and the money second. The choices made will not align with those of today. And when it arrives we'll all scratch our heads and say...THAT'S IT!
- Jerry Schuman
5. Touring is about making money, it's rarely about growing your audience, especially at today's inflated ticket prices. That's one thing Kid Rock got right, letting looky-loos in at a low price and trying to close them at the gig. It's a strategy abandoned by the business that needs to come back. You've got to be so good live that you gain new fans. This can be done via TV, it's what Prince did at the Super Bowl and has been touring in the wake of ever since, but there was Prince at the Super Bowl and...
- Jerry Schuman
Thank God I lived in times when you could hold the music and smell the vinyl
- Moe Glitz
Live is still important... like oceanfront property
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Heh!
- Robert Scoble
The amount of money they supposedly earn is mythical at best.

RE: Music, holiday mix, enjoy it in good health in 2014 - http://bit.ly/1a1edTz
- J.C. Bouvier
The curse of every artist on a label is the word "recoupable"
- Jerry Schuman
Lefsetz spin is one of trying to jerk the industry from its coma. I love his fights with a good friend of mine Randy Phillips who runs AEG.
- Jerry Schuman
is the music business part of the tech business now?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
is tv part of the tech business now? have we merged yet?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
The whole Entertainment Industry is Tina
- Moe Glitz
Tina, I think since they started recording music, it's been part of tech - paper to player pianos, vinyl, 8 tracks, cassettes, CDs...just an evolution...
- J.C. Bouvier
The music industry as a whole is based on indentured servitude
- Jerry Schuman
Software has eaten the Entertainment Industry
- Moe Glitz
Is it still, Jerry? I thought that is what is changing.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
There are few artists that eek livings out of being independent. The industry still holds most of the cards when it comes to promo and air time. Have a chat with Zoe Keating or Amanda Palmer about that.
- Jerry Schuman
I think we've arrived at the point where we find a good word and then develop a business around it

- Francine Hardaway

- Tina Chase Gillmor

Had 5M from Intel, 5M from Sun... and couldn't freaking get a traditional VC to take the final 10M. It was the writing on the wall for the implosion that happened in 2000.
