The Evolution Of Music Online! [Short PBS Doc] SWAG!!

[Tucker21]

Description:
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 Blake Whitman, VP of Creative Development, Vimeo Anthony Volodkin, Founder, Hype Machine
