Industry noise is a collection of industry professionals that get together once a year to talk about trends in the music industry. The goal [...]

Do CDs have a future? What is the record industry going to look like in the coming years? Can you still make money selling CDs? What is the next big trend?
NOISE POP SCHEDULE – STEFAN
Noise Pop 2010 is suddenly upon us. I’m super thrilled… but at the same time find myself with a lot less money than I had last year. Thus… listed are the shows I recommend… keeping in mind you and I are both on a budget.

A PIECE OF SF IN NY
Photo & Article by: Stefan Aronsen
The drinks in NY are too expensive, the girls in NY don’t smile back, casual conversations don’t work and cave men seem to get all the play. Then just when I was starting to give up on NY… I found Williamsburg!
