Muso-bable
The thoughts and ocassional ramblings of a 30-something muso.
Hello, I’m a muso. I'm one of those guys you see digging around the racks of vinyl in London's backstreet record shops. I'm not addicted, I can give it up whenever I want. I just need to find that limited edition 7" single that the NME made single of the week. Maybe you've bumped into me in the queue for the bar at The Academy or The Astoria. There are thousands of us in London - I've seen all the regular faces in the record shops and at the gigs.

This blog is my attempt to write about the records that I love, the gigs I've been to and, well, anything else to do with music. Hopefully you'll find something here that makes you nod in agreement or rant in disagreement or maybe even laugh.

Will you pay more for music downloads?

Delivery of "content" over the Internet was supposed to make it cheaper. Yet, as this piece reports, the major labels would like to increase the price of downloads by 25%.

So, we're going to have to pay more for the tracks that we can go out and buy on a CD, with the download crippled by DRM. Do we think this will (a) encourage people to download tracks using a "legal" music service or (b) encourage people to use the "illegal" file sharing networks. Answers on a postcard to your local music monopoly.
