Dan Kennedy on the record biz

The A.V. Club interviews Dan Kennedy, author of "Rock On: An Office Power Ballad," which is really quite good if you like that sort of thing.

AVC: So what's different about the modern industry that's triggered its supposed decline?

DK: Apparently at some point, the record business turned into some 45-year-old white guy with a law degree and a masters in marketing, who has a tan in the middle of winter and three houses, and he calls music "units." Somewhere, something got lost.
