Well, this (courtesy of the BBC) is interesting.
Both Buddhism and Taoism make the point that all things are temporary and nothing lasts forever. It seems nobody thought to tell this music industry, until now. An unsigned band called Koopa is about to enter the top 40 without any music industry deals.
To quote a band member, “If we can get enough exposure and get in the top 40 by the end of the week, do we necessarily need a large label? Probably nowadays, no you don’t.” The music industry has fought long and hard to try to stop this change from happening, but you can’t stop change, delay it maybe, but not stop it.
This more than anything makes the point that all things are temporary, if a huge powerful monolith like the record industry can have something like this happen, despite all their power. This is going to be interesting to watch!
