Do you play live?
Currently only playing live sporadically, when I do it is in the greater Philadelphia, PA area. This will soon change, or at least the "sporadic" bit will.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Positive: It has de-centralized the industry via a new plethora of streams of exposure and profitability for the artist.
Negative: The sheer number of artists out there recording and seeking audience has possibly exceeded the ability of those audiences to support them (us) all. However, I make music because I cannot not make music.
