Third Eye Blind vocalist: Albums unnecessary in digital age
,----[ Quote ]
| "I don't think it's necessary or useful," Jenkins told several hundred
| conference attendees. "The album is an arbitrary concept. It's not something
| that has to exist."
|
| It's important to note that Jenkins wasn't speaking at all about the
| controversy triggered by remarks made last week by AC/DC. The Australian
| rockers slammed iTunes in several interviews and suggested that selling
| individual songs was bad for artists, music, and fans.
|
| I disagreed and wrote the album was, at least in its CD stage, anticonsumer.
| The album boosted individual transactions and forced consumers to pay a
| premium for songs they didn't want.
