Sometimes you have to get back to your roots. In our case, that means sitting on the Back Porch and arguing with each other. If you’ll forgive the sound quality, we’re bringing you this episode from lakeside seats – you might hear birds, boats, airplanes, and the occasional construction equipment – but hey, it’s pretty amazing what a MacBook Pro built-in microphone can do.
In this episode we delve into music discovery (and re-discovery), discuss the continuing decline of music downloads as a promotional device, and rebut the assertion that indie labels are defined solely by their non-owned-by-status with major labels.
And we have a very special guest! Mr. Jonathan Sexton of Back Porch Group portfolio company Bandposters.
As always, feel free to shoot us your feedback via email or Twitter.
