In my world, concert festivals & blogs have replace the need for major labels marketing role, and itunes / amazon / cdbaby have replaced their manufacturing / distribution role.
That said, I've seen friends of friends at iTunes start micro-labels that seem to focus more on online & concert only efforts.
I'd be more concerned about consolidation if it was the 90's again.
Update: Yes, you guys are right. I'm spoiled - I live in Austin "live music capital of the world" and have mostly non-pop taste in music.
- untog 15y agoIn my world, concert festivals & blogs have replace the need for major labels marketing role In your world perhaps, but a lot of concert festivals and blogs have heavy involvement from major labels in promoting content. It might look like these blogs discover bands out of nowhere, but I promise you they are forwarded a ton of content from labels.
