What's in store for the future of popular music? No one really knows. Will the fads continue to repeat? (We all know that MGMT's "Electric Feel" could easily be a disco song!) Are we in for something completely different? Or are computers taking over the world? A recent iPod/iPhone application mentioned in FILTER's blog, makes me wonder. We already have beat machines, but now lyric machines?! Crazy, right? I doubt any true musicians will get so lazy in the future, but it is a little scary when you think about it...
As for the industry, I really can't predict the future for them either. What I can say is that I think the RIAA will lose their fight against P2P services. These lawsuits are turning away the few customers they have; technology is advancing more quickly than any of us can imagine, and soon we will all move on to the next thing! They should look for more creative ways to make a profit rather than continue to fight (and lose money) on P2P and other forms of illegal downloading. Those are my thoughts...Tell me what you think.
