Stop Complaining

You’ve wasted too much time complaining.

The game has changed and you can either sit on the sidelines or start playing.

This is as big a revolution in the way we consume and distribute music as there’s ever been in history.

As big as sheet music. As big as recorded music. As big as radio.

If not bigger than the lot.

And you’ve spent way too long whining about it instead of getting your head around it. You’re missing a golden opportunity.

Or more accurately – lots of them.

Because the writing’s on the wall for selling recorded music it doesn’t mean the same is true for music as a whole.

Our new currency isn’t vinyl, cds or even mp3s. It’s attention.

So how are you going to get mine?

Why I’m No Sports Fan (And Stopped Releasing My Music On Record Labels)

Last weekend I had a DJ gig in Melbourne Australia. When I arrived, the biggest Aussie Rules game of the year had just been played, the Grand Final replay between Collingwood and St. Kilda.

It was a huge win for Collingwood, and as I watched the coverage from my hotel room I wondered why I wasn’t a big sports fan.

I realised that it comes down to a lack of control.

Looking at the St. Kilda supporters and their obvious great distress I wondered why they would put their emotional state in the hands of a group of people over whom they have absolutely no control.

But then I wondered why for so long I’ve placed the fate of my music (and my whole career) in the hands of a group of people over whom I have absolutely no control.
