Real Time - WSJ.com: “…the key point isn’t the idea of releasing a steady stream of music instead of an album a year at most — that’s an interesting discussion, but not a new one. Rather, it’s asking what music fans will most readily pay for. Debates about serializing music tend to revolve around the artist’s creative process, and devolve into arguments between song guys and album guys about the artistic merits of those forms. (Reader caveat: I’m very much a song guy.) But this debate may soon be beside the point: The ideal creative process isn’t so ideal if it doesn’t get you paid. If consumers won’t pay for albums, it behooves artists to find another form.“
