Music is going to become a promotional tool

Piratepods.com did a podcast with Drew in December before he started the West Coast Tour. It weaves an interview into a couple of his songs. Although it is not completely obvious, you can play the podcast on that page by clicking on the small blue triangle under the picture or you can download it.

I found his thoughts on the music industry starting at the 10:55 mark interesting. They include:

record labels are trying to figure out a way to survive.
music is going to become a promotional tool more than anything else.
the value of the song itself has extremely decreased.

The money quote at the 15:30 mark is Hefeweizen.
