Like making old things new again. Enjoy working on a far away big tree/cow farm vs inner city digital stuff and with the NBN that's changing, creative lifestyles and digital content businesses. I have 4 degrees in psychology, media, literature, librarianship, management and business including a business PhD that explored how tech created opportunities in the music sector (as a lead indicator to other content sectors). Am fascinated by how people use digital stuff and emerging uses. Slow living, reject unreal or fast lifestyles, I like to know all about what I eat. Maintaining a professional hatred and boycott of Farcebook. Confused about whether to write in 1st or 3rd person on this site. Love animals and have always had them around - cows, horses, chooks, cats, dogs, sheep, goats, camels, budgies. Met lots of snakes too. Enjoy aesthetic immersion and favourite era is 1940-1959. Music obsessive not impartial to late nights watching bands. blah blah blah

Music future = musician >< fan

Bravo to Ian Rogers of Topspin in a recent speech on music value. He takes the approach that the future of music lies in the artist and the fan. If you are neither artist nor fan then you must question what value you add in the music ecosystem (between artist and fan).

I also liked his comment that when Nine Inch Nails offered Ghosts at five price points he was really asking, “How big a fan are you?” in relation to freemium pricing of content.
