Two articles that confirm what I've already posted some time ago:

which in turn references
http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB117444575607043728-DA_Xj6UYVkdAlYagcxinszyQOKE_20070420.html?mod=tff_main_tff_top
Essentially, CD sales are beginning a death plumment, and artists who want to make a living from music will have to play live and sell merchandise to make a living. I wonder if live venues realise this yet? Will NZ culture change so that people go out and see bands 2-3 times every week instead? And then go out and hear DJs later in the night?
