I have to say, the fact that there's little to no ability to track distribution through pirated downloads is a pretty difficult point to counter. After all, the knowledge of where and how your music is being listened is a pretty important factor in your marketing plan. If you're in New York and no one is listening to…

@avclub-d116ae13554d47530ed800aef8ed5755:disqus I'm not really sure if they'd actually care about people doing that, and really, from a licensing point of view it seems like they'd still have to pay the artist for each play regardless of whether or not someone's listening. In fact, Pandora checks in with you every…

I have to say, I think Swans tend to consistently deliver fantastic live albums. That is in large part due to their tendency to continually rework songs, stretching them out and sometimes blending them together. This years We Rose from Your Bed with the Sun in Our Head is excellent, though, I perhaps prefer Swans Are…

I don't really care for the show, but I'm more concerned by how awkward "Girl Meets World" is as a title. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't "Boy Meets World" a sort of slant pun on "Boy Meets Girl"?
