who wants hellfire?

[Sabra]

I think the entertainment industry is actually realizing this turn of events as well. I think they will eventually be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. They are feeling the pressure both internally and externally. Not only are the consumers demanding these possibilities, but the artists are pushing from inside. Many now realize the opportunity they have for exposure and distribution and embrace it.

That's really the most exciting part, as far as I'm concerned. The rest is just ... convenience maybe.

For instance, I'll start at my son's web site www.caslucas.com and from there I can link to the sites of other musicians, including Paul Currari, so I'm off to his site, download and listen to a few things there and then follow a link over to someone he likes and admires, listen there, etc. It's just a great way to see what new artists (that you would NEVER have heard of) are up to. I hear better and more diverse music surfing musician's web sites than I'd ever hear on the radio.

Again - triumph of the amateurs.
