Blink-182's Tom Delonge: Time To Adapt, Give Music Away For Free, Monetize Other Things
,----[ Quote ]
| This one's from a couple months back, but I
| missed it at the time. Reader Amber Walker
| sends in this fantastic video interview
| with Tom Delonge of the band Blink-182 from
| the Guitar Center blog, where he makes many
| of the points that we discuss here, noting
| how technology has made it cheaper to make,
| promote and distribute music, and he thinks
| the big opportunity is in giving your music
| away for free, and recognizing that there
| are other things to sell, such as
| merchandise, but also subscriptions and
| other types of events.
