John- do you think there will be one master archive of all music in various formats (Wav, MP3, etc)?
I think you are right on with your predictions but I wonder about the logistics. Will it be like the current distro model where you can get these r…
thanks for adding your story PJ!
I think it's funny that Jeb called out my lack of CD when we were roommates at the ballroom. My love of vinyl and detestation of the CD format runs along this line.
1971 - 1976 - a nearly constant stream of music from my dad's record collection esp…
man, that would have been a nice score- the Butcher!
interesting. Now if you could actually hit a button and somewhere a large jukebox would find the album, put it on the turntable and stream it, that would be something!
Here is an example of a vinyl archive, Jeb:

Oh, and the records from my parent's collection that really launched me? Their collection of "original Broadway cast" musicals made me think about telling stories through music; Allan Sherman's "My Son the Nut" taught me that music can be both serio…
I’ve probably mentioned this before here at MFT, but the first time I really, REALLY wanted a particular recording and found out it was only available on CD...late July of ‘95...that was one of the saddest days of my life. Crushing. I’m not sure jus…
I need to write a blog totally marginalizing vinyl. I'll get to work on that ;) Seriously, good piece. I need to find my way back to vinyl - I need to convince my wife to let me set up the turntable in the living room again.
My family still had 78's and a record player that would play 'em when I grew up in the '50's. My father had big band, Beethoven, country, all kind of things. My mother worked at the RCA plant that made records in Indianapolis, when she left to have…
I've had a vinyl influence since I was alive. I am grateful my father had a record player and that he would actually use it. I think there is something unique in a medium that takes so much to slow down and truly appreciate it for what it's worth. W…
loved this
I know, I'm on some sort of nostalgia trip these days while running a Web agency. Everything balances out. That's kinda my point. As we go further into the digital realm we have the increased need for a tactile experience.
Jeb, what is it with you and outmoded technology?
I kid, I kid!
Interestingly enough, it looks as though there is going to be a church affiliated project going on that site.

Hell, maybe it's already there. I don't know the intended date.

Ouch
that hurt, I wish that hadn't happened. Oh well it did. Nice going Saints. You won the game. Congrats.
I was at my friends' house- Jake and Maggie- for the game. You?
We looked good, for the most part. At least it was the Saints, right?

New Features in MFT Archive
Hey Gang, we've been hard at work tricking out the MFT Archive.
Here's some of new features you will notice when browsing the site. Thanks to Jordan Wilson at Small Box for making all these changes the past few days. There are more on the way and I may just update this blog as we go.

- Hi Jeb-glad I finally got around to registering on this site, although I've looked at it frequently. Now I can divide my time between this and Facebook as I try to reach record highs of seeing howmuch time I can spend on social sites.
I noticed the South Bend group. I'll no doubt join since the group needs more members! I really haven't lived there since 1974 so am not much up on what's happening there. I have a few friends up there so I do try to get back to visit. Not having a car doesn't help.

The Future: Radio makes a comeback, MP3's are burned like books, and headphone are implanted into your eardrums.
Tune in, it's the future!
Yeah, of course there are other tastemakers - I vaguely mention that we all have our own filtering mechanisms and that will continue. Social networking and blogs will become more and more important - as will ways of communicating that we can't conce…
Hey John, since you are the only person I know who would know:
Are the models that drive satellite radio producing any revenue for the artist? You don't mention satellite services but to me, not having one, it seems to be a logical evolution to bet…
I predict that labels may not go away, but they will become less important--as will traditional broadcast radio. Ten years from now we will all have internet-based radio in our cars. And the taste-maker-gate-keepers may not all be labels. They might…

I think it's significant that iTunes acquired LaLa, a streaming site (which I use to preview or rather pre-listen to new releases). With the likely release of Spotify in the U.S., and the fact that Rhapsody already has a subcription streaming servic…
