Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I would just like to posit that the death of the music industry is not necessarily a bad thing.
We're obviously not experiencing the death of music, as iPod sales attest.
It's easier and cheaper than ever to both record and distribute your music.
The fact that six companies aren't controlling ninety percent of it and signing bands to ruinous deals isn't that awful.

I had a conversation with a kid who said he worked for a Hollywood Video and that places like Netflix (which I love) are damaging actual movie rental stores. It's a matter of recognising a change in product delivery and then finding ways to adjust accordingly.

Right, I'd much rather have Netflix than bowdlerizing Blockbuster.

For the industry, having the artists turning more of a profit than the suits just makes sense.

There's probably a joke to be made involving some Costello lyrics, but I'm too busy to think of one....
