Top 5 Thoughts of the Day
1. Although these facts are disheartening, they prove that the music industry is what you make it, and it pays off to delve deeper than the mainstream (via BuzzFeed)
2. Free as a business model is finally finding its footing in the music industry. First with Pandora and now with Spotify, we’re on our way to monetizing music while still providing it for free. In the words of Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek:
“I don’t want to be characterized as an iTunes killer. What we really are trying to do is move people away from piracy into a legal model that contributes revenue back to the music industry. It’s really that simple, and I think the key is by creating more convenient products.”

3. There is no better study music than A Tribe Called Quest
4. Beefsteak Sunday should be a once in a while special occasion and should not take place before a day that is supposed to be productive
5. I would rather be too cold than too hot
