David Byrne on the changing face of the music business.

Reading boingboing the other day I saw a post to this article in Wired by David Byrne. It’s a killer article detailing the current spread of music business models out there. There are also a bunch of audio files on the page where David interviews Thom Yorke and Brian Eno among others.

There is no one single way of doing business these days. There are, in fact, six viable models by my count. That variety is good for artists; it gives them more ways to get paid and make a living. And it’s good for audiences, too, who will have more — and more interesting — music to listen to.
