The State of the Music Industry

Yeah, except the technology has been available since the '90s for what the Oatmeal says "need to go from here", and yet it took a Steve Jobs to herd the labels -- I expect it'll take Jesus to herd the artists.

Problem is itunes IS the new label. Hopefully a more open and equitable market place will pop up to bypass itunes (which is better than the existing label system but still plenty cr*ppy).

Oh, and someone needs to tell The Oatmeal that no one goes looking for banjo music. Most people know when you hear banjos, it's time to start paddling... FAST!
