"State of Internet Indie Music" article by Suzanne Glass detailing the state on internet music to date and directions for the future.

This indie music article makes great reading. Excerpts:

"The important thing is that we have a voice. If we don't, the "other" music people (industry corporate types in bad three piece suits who haven't seen a real guitar in years) will make the decisions for us. The greedy corporate guys that worship accounting before art."

"Whether to give your MP3 music away for free is a question each artist will have to answer on their own"

"There is a lot of great promotional opportunities for young bands, especially those who can't afford to produce a CD, by using the services of MP3.com (like the DAM CD program, where MP3.com burns and ships your CDs when they are ordered online, then pays the artist half the money collected.) Follow your conscience and you'll do fine."
