What is a great read you'd recommend on understanding the relation between capital and the music industry? Long or short, what gave you an insight you didn't have before?
Only just started reading it, but watched a lot of interviews about it.
Goes very specifically into issues related to how Spotify and the music industry (the giant record companies) fuck over musicians amongst other things.
And also highlights neat alternatives that are emerging.
@benx this book is great! also cory doctorow boosted our kickstarter
After posting my comment, I just realised that Cory is probably the reason I started following your account to begin with. lol
Oh also the documentary Dig! (from 2004) also comes to mind - as a piece of media I have watched that somewhat tackled issues dealing with major record labels.
Has been a while since I've watched it though. I reckon I'd probably be a lot more critical of the "Sigma Male"-like musicians featured in the film on rewatching it.
