By far, the best music article I’ve read this year
I handily thank Samir for forwarding on this lovely gem from Wired. David Byrne not only conducts a monumental interview with Thom Yorke, but dispenses his knowledge on the 6 ways an artist can strike a deal to release music. Dumby proof and pretty objective. For all his craziness, he gives a really good step by step guide on how different artists can make a run for it in the varied and diverse music climate we live in. I’m personally glad that Mr. Byrne is feeling optimistic in 2008. So am I after reading these wonderful articles.
