Music Industry

During a random morning brainstorm, I was thinking what will bands do when more than 12-15 songs can be put on an album. CDs are basically on the way out, right? Will DVDs replace or just downloading albums from the internet. Either way more songs can be put on the album. No need to make a cut of songs that won't "fit". I asked a friend who is in a band and follows the music industry a lot. He says the industry is dead. Major labels only put their effort into a few bands and the rest are just left to deal on their own. It's true. Pop music and Top-40 chart bands are still the only ones to get radio play. So many bands are out there now attempting to get noticed and at least a fan base. I could go on a tangent about this, but it's too much to explain. It makes me sad to think that the few bands I really enjoy won't be able to continue to tour and make albums because a major label won't give them a boost. Maybe Radiohead will find the solution with their plan to offer their next album at the price that the consumer chooses. What a novel idea.
