I probably sound like a bit of a stuck record at this point but I think it’s hard to understate just how much of a killer music device the iPad is. My hat goes off to Smule for really leading the way. They totally get it.

I can’t wait until 2015 when this music revolution is in full swing and my son is playing with all these apps. I wonder if he’ll still learn to play piano in the classical way I did?

“Audio blogging sites Gorilla vs. Bear and Weekly Tape Deck have launched a record label, Forest Family Records. The label will product limited runs of 7″, 10″ and 12″ vinyl as well as cassettes.”

CD’s are dead, long live digital! But there’s no doubt in my mind that physical formats will still play an important (but different) role in music. Especially when a whole generation of kids, who never really even knew what cassettes and vinyl were, decide to acquire some of that ‘post-digital’ cool factor.

For the record, I said it on the panel I was on at SXSW a few weeks ago, but I’m still waiting for the first cassette only exclusive by a major artist.
