People are experimenting with streaming, with subscription services, whether it's a Spotify or a Pandora or a Rdio.
The difference between Spotify and Internet radio services like Pandora is that Spotify is interactive. You can sample the complete catalogue of most artists' recordings.
With Spotify and all those streaming services, you don't get paid anything. You have to be, like, Madonna or something to actually make a real royalty from that.
I don't look at Spotify or Rdio or any of these guys as a direct competitor: I look at other forms of entertainment as the competitor.
The fact that 'Honey, I'm Good' made such a splash and that people were catching it on radio, on Spotify, on Pandora, it's driving everybody to go hear the album.
Some people see streaming as a bad thing because of the royalty amount paid, but as more and more people get on these services and stream music all day long, you'll be able to generate quite a bit of income from streaming.
With iTunes and Spotify and Pandora and this and that, you don't need to buy CDs any more.
I think, at the end of the day, Stockhouse will have free services supported by advertising, but we'll also have a number of subscription services.
As the streaming wars escalate in 2020 with all these services, we have one of the largest live audiences of millennials who are watching a streaming program - so obviously, there's a lot of synergy there.
There's definitely some sort of dissent brewing between record labels, publishing companies and artists [about the compensation they get from streaming services] Spotify is returning a HUGE amount of money [to the record labels]. If we continue growing at our current rate in terms of subscriptions and downloads, we'll overtake iTunes in terms of contributions to the recorded music business in under two years.
I think everything's experimental whether you like it or not. I think that people who do generic pop are experimenting with cliches. It's no less than I am experimenting with noise or unknown music - until you say, 'This is my song, or this is my composition' - it's all experimental, whether you like it or not.
There are a number of start-ups in Europe that are able to reach beyond their own country. Take Spotify - Spotify just in Sweden isn't that interesting compared to Spotify all over the world.
I really like streaming services. It's a great way for people to find your music.
The only way you survive on all these services is if you're groundbreaking. There's pressure to be groundbreaking, which is the greatest thing that's ever happened. It's a bizarre aspect of what's happened with all of these subscription services is everyone is trying to outdo each other by doing great things.
Sure, we all like listening to music on vinyl, but that doesn't mean streaming music on Spotify is bad.
I always looked askance at Pandora and Spotify, regarding both as a passive means of experiencing music; they feed you music they presume you will like, and eventually you like it.
Kids are taking music for free all the time. They have Spotify, Pandora... The record companies aren't making the kind of music that they used to make. Artists make their money on tours, not from album sales.
