On The Big Black Bus

This blog is written for anyone who wondered what it would be like to be a musician: to be in a rock band, to tour America and the world, to play in front of thousands of people, to just do it. Content is a direct reflection of our daily lives and activities: songwriting, rehearsing the band, recording, audiences, people that you meet in strange places, etc. We use plenty of images, we think they look cool, we’ll post video and new audio as and when they become available. Frequency will reflect activity in the project - potentially daily when we’re touring - weekly when we’re not.

Digital to be 40% of total music by 2010

That’s almost $15 billion dollars a year - in downloads! Still - even in another 4 years, CD’s are projected to take the lion’s share; it’s all about how easy it is to get to and play your music. The fact that the vast majority of music on the new MP3 players is “side loaded” (imported from a CD rather than purchased as a download) means that the CD business is going to be alive and well for the foreseeable future.
