I must admit I really enjoyed Steve Albini's take on the state of the music industry. He's seems pretty pleased with the new landscape. And I can't really argue with anything he says. With the internet and low-cost recording technology, the days of the Major Record Labels and the "rule of the suits" really has come to an end.
We are all DIY-ers now. And as Albini tells it: "If a bunch of pimply glue sniffers could do it, we reasoned, then anybody could."
