The Internet Has Solved Music’s Problem-Steve Albini
Steve Albini, prolific musician and recording engineer (he prefers the latter term over record producer) gave us an insightful perspective on the music business in 1993 with his essay The Problem with Music.
His thoughts continue to be provocative and profound as you will read here from his keynote address at the Melbourne Face the Music Conference.
“The Internet Has Solved Music’s Problem”
By Steve Albini
TV on the Radio
TV on the Radio, the wildly eclectic progressive indie band out of Brooklyn, have a new album Seeds, and the first since the untimely death of bassist Gerard Smith.
So hard to choose which song to feature so we will post the first two singles.
“Happy Idiot”
“Careful You”
MOURN
MOURN is a very young quartet out of Catalonia, Spain.
Jazz Rodríguez Bueno (frontwoman) and Carla Pérez Vas (guitarist/vocalist), both 18, began writing together and added drummer Antonio Postius and bassist Leia Rodríguez (Jazz’s sister), 18 and 15 respectively, to create music far beyond their years.
“Otitis” is from their self-titled debut album.
