I went for a walk today and saw, for the first time, a guy propose to his girlfriend (well, I assume… proposing to a stranger is a pretty big call).
It set me thinking – a proposal, an engagement, they’re all promises of more to come. They are events in their own right, but they aren’t the end goal. The end goal in this case is marriage, which is in itself a process leading to a better relationship… and so on it goes. (more…)
In this digital landscape, it is entirely possible to attend a play in Sydney, view and exhibition in Bilbao and hear a concert from San Francisco without ever leaving your home. In London.
This has a clear impact on content, and importantly, content production.
There is a lot of nay-saying about the state of the music industry at the moment, and how it’s in the worst shape it’s been in since records began. But I think this misses the point. In politics, dictatorships have been proven time and time again to fail; a monopoly in any context exists to benefit the minority. What we’re seeing now in the music industry is the great democratic movement; anyone can record an album, anyone can make a film and you can send it anywhere. The best stuff will still exist and the worst stuff will still exist; there’s just more of both.
I don’t see the problem.
Well, first please let me apologize for the blog silence since being at Twitter all that time ago. Things have been absolutely crazy here in the Coffeeloop cave with all sorts of things (including some more travel, more recording and some more coffee).
So, what’s up?
Well, as you probably know, the Twitter concert was a great success and is currently leading to a few very exciting things. More soon. The video can be found at our vimeo page here:Â Twitter Concert
We’ll  be posting much more here in the coming months, but if you’d like to get in touch about anything (ideas, comments, recipes etc), then drop me a line to pg @ coffeeloop.com
Cheers!
