I'm off to see David Byrne in Oxford tonight. Just boning up on him (sorry?!) on Wikipedia and I came across a quote of his, which I think everyone involved in and into music needs to digest:

"The "industry" had a nice 50-year ride, but it's time to move on. Luckily, music remains more or less unaffected — there is a lot of great music out there. A new model will emerge that includes rather than sues its own customers, that realizes that music is not a product in the sense of being a thing — it's closer to fashion, in that for music fans it tells them and their friends who they are, what they feel passionately about and to some extent what makes life fun and interesting. It's about a sense of community — a song ties a whole invisible disparate community together."

That concept of music being, in essence, comparable to fashion, is genius. That plus a properly good listen to 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts' has really got me looking forward to the gig :0)
