On Holiday in India

I’m currently on holiday in India with the Rachgirl. Not much internet, but I’ve uploaded a couple of days worth of photos to Flickr, and am updating Twitter semi-regularly via SMS.

Universal Music CEO - “Internet = Vetinary Surgery”

Universal Music CEO Doug Morris Speaks, Recording Industry in Even Deeper Shit Than We Thought – New York Magazine

“There’s no one in the record industry that’s a technologist,” Morris explains. “That’s a misconception writers make all the time, that the record industry missed this. They didn’t. They just didn’t know what to do. It’s like if you were suddenly asked to operate on your dog to remove his kidney. What would you do?”
Personally, I would hire a vet. But to Morris, even that wasn’t an option. “We didn’t know who to hire,” he says, becoming more agitated. “I wouldn’t be able to recognize a good technology person — anyone with a good bullshit story would have gotten past me.”
