At the 140 Character Conference (i.e. that which revolves around Twitter), Christopher  R. Weingarten (rollingstone.com, The Village Voice, Revolver Mag, Idolator, et al.) talked about losing his livelihood within a year and then laid out why.  Though loose and relatively informal, his 10 minute+ talk was brilliant.  If you’re at all interested in how the music press industry has reshaped and morphed over the last decade, you should watch/listen to this.  (Note: there’s some profanity here.  Consider yourself warned!)

I agreed with every single thing Weingarten had to say, save one.  A six pack of beer goes to whoever can guess exactly what that is.
