| "It's an iPod landscape."
The above quote, from the NY Times Salonen article, combined with Jens' review of Mark Gould / Pink Baby Monster really helps define what is going on in today's - and what will hopefully will continue into tomorrow's - musical scene.
Single entity arts organizations targeting only a small segment of the public will ultimately not serve this country's diverse musical landscape. We are an iPod culture now and that says a lot about what the musical values of the culture are. Those who don't adapt will be tossed aside in Darwinian fashion I believe.
Thanks for drawing our attention to this article, Ed.
Sincerely,
