So, on Thursday, my ENG 2353 class will talk about music (and a little TV) and the implications of those media converging with (existing despite?) the interwebs. Serendipity (zing!) perhaps provided me an article today featuring Mark Hunter, the lead singer of Ohio-based metal band Chimaira and his views on some of the challenges created by (among other things) that convergence.
It's definitely a subjective view, but I think that he offers some potential insight into a set of industry-wide trends. His claims go beyond merely the convergence of these media, but he does talk specifically about the internet's impact on music - genre notwithstanding. Also, I'm interested in the fact that Hunter is a frequent tweeter.
Anyway, food for thought.
