This has got to be, hands down, the best analysis of the past, present and future of the recording industry written by someone who has lived it.

David Byrne breaks it down with much detail. Great explanation of what he describes as the 6 models available to current artists for selling and promoting their music, ranging from completely hands-off to completely hands-on. Pros/Cons of each, amazingly simple charts to look at describing where the money goes from a CD sale; and why even though iTunes is great for consumers, it still isn’t so great for artists. In fact they can make less on an iTunes purchase than a CD sale.

I highly recommend reading this article!

A very good overview of the upcoming possibilities for Android.

I have to admit Im somewhat exited, this has possibilities for voeveo as well.

We’ll be starting on development of a browser based mobile version of the voeveo service, but Android has me curious about possibilities in the application development space.

I’m gonna have to take a look at the SDK and see if there is something we can do for voeveo…
