As the 90s came to a close, the business of music began to change profoundly. New technology allowed artists to record and produce their own music and music videos, and the internet became a free-for-all distribution platform for musicians to promote themselves to audiences across the world. The result was an influx of artists onto the cultural scene, and audiences were left wondering how to sort through them all. In this episode we discuss these massive changes, and reveal how music blogs and websites have arisen as the new arbiters of quality.

Featuring:

Jon Cohen, Co-Founder, FADER Label
Ryan Dombal, Senior Editor, Pitchfork

    WOW 100% male video. I GUESS FEMALES AREN'T PART OF THE EVOLUTION OF MUSIC ONLINE? Kornhaber Brown, you have nothing to brag about. PBS, why do you get public funding if you only represent 50% of the population.

    This is exactly what they are trying to legislate AGAINST. Google and Twitter only return LOCAL websites to allow content blocking per region ... "region codes?".

    Hype Machine is not cool, it's controlled and censored.
