I surfed here via Umair's twitter feed... Great post, I agree that the OurStage model has a lot of problems, principally that the success of it dependent on lots of people listening to shitty music on purpose. Have you used it? It's awful! I'm a trained professional musician, and I think the path for creating more and better music is "Y Combinator for artists". Discuss. ;-) I'm also a huge fan of Umair's, I'd be curious to hear even more about the experience of bringing him to Sony. Still rocking the 12" G4, Ethan Hi Matt!
