Why the loudness wars are killing today's music - link
"Pull out a vinyl record from the 70s or early 80s, and listen to it. Odds are it'll have a big dynamic range -- it'll be whisper-quiet in some parts and booming loud in others. You'll pick up new nuances every time you listen to it. Now listen to any music track recorded in the last ten years, and it'll be radically different. That dynamic range is gone: The entire track is loud, all the way through..." Apprently it's all Oasis fault. Bloody rit-pop.

"Record Outlet, a small music store in Thousand Oaks, carries used vinyl records as well as CDs. Store owner K.C. Staples said business has been as good as ever.
"Vinyl sales have never really slowed down," he said. "CD sales have slumped, but I'm seeing more junior high through high school young adults buying more records."

When clearing a tune for a compilation becomes a nightmare.... especially when you realise the label you are dealing didn't clear/pay for the samples in the tune you want.
The above links are from the esteemed Andrew Dubber - here's more, in his own words...
"I've recently been maintaining an email list for close personal acquaintances. I send out a message a couple of times a week, containing a plain text list of headlines and links to news, blogs and articles about Online Music. I'm ready to expand that select list to The Wireless constituency. If you'd like to get that email, drop me a note (dubber@gmail.com) and I'll add you. "
Thoroughly reccomended if you're involved in music....
