aG: That's a loaded question. Not many highlights unfortunately. I've seen the industry accelerate their self imposed downward spiral over the past decade. When you allow bean-counters to dictate the direction of art, you will always end up with the lowest common denominator. Just look at TV and what I call shitcoms. The music industry has become so much of a follow the leader and repackager that there are no leaders left and any band that could come along and shake things up like Guns N Roses and Nirvana did would never have a prayer of doing so under today's music industry business model of "sign, release and drop". It's really sad. The big irony is that we are now in an age where far more is possible. Bands can (and a few are) using new technology to reach fans directly. Podcasts, the internet etc. But every step of the way the big labels have tried to stop progress that in the end would benefit them. In the States, they are now trying to talk some Senators into passing a new copyright act that would basically outlaw podcasts (if I read the information correctly.) That's just insane.
