Today’s USA Today has a brief blurb quoting Alanis Morrisette, of all people, as being concerned about music “conglomerates apply[ing] their same business practices to the Net” which would apparently result in only a few popular artists getting radio airplay and selling lots of albums.
Which is a bit odd coming from someone who is the property of one of the largest media conglomerates in the world, AOL Time Warner. Just once I’d like to see these people put their careers where their ideologies are and foresake their large record contracts for life as an indie artist.
Or is Alanis too concerned that without the payola and other perks Warner Music provides her and other musicians, that she’d be stuck in Fugazi land? Come on Alanis — DIY or stop complaining.
