[quote]I have a pretty big vinyl record and CD collection but in truthfulness I can't remember listening to any of it in years..
I stream music on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music (when I have a subscription.. occasionally) and most of the time it's on my iPhone or on my MacBook Pro..

But before the Internet took over, I absolutely loved physical recorded music and being in the business I funded the manufacture of Vinyl and CDs.

When I was a lad I used to go to bed with some 7" 45 rpm singles and dream that one day my name would be in the credits just like how
Chinn/Chapman, Mickie Most, JK, Tony Macaulay, Ron Roker, Phil Swern, Gerry Shury, Cook/Greenaway and so on...had their names on the records..
I never wanted to be an artist.. there was always more mystery, fun and excitement in being behind the scenes and often more rewards too...

Apart from the extreme competition (over 100,000 tracks are added to Spotify every day) and apart from the meagre royalties (unless you have a super massive hit like
"Flowers" by Miley Cyrus, then now is a great time to be making and releasing music to the world.

A recording studio can be anything from an iPhone or iPad running mobile DAW's like Cubasis or GarageBand, or laptops with Logic Pro or Cubase Pro and a pair of headphones.. to elaborate setups like Real World Studios (Peter Gabriels studio) tucked away in the pristine English countryside with it's own lake and land to go roaming when on the lookout for creative ideas..

If you have a catchy song and attractive video and know how to drive traffic to your YouTube videos and social platforms.. you can reach an audience from all around the world with the press of a button..

And who knows... you just might have the next "Flowers" Miley Cyrus type of hit just ready to break out on to the masses....[/quote]

I have no idea what it is with the British; they have to follow almost every trend, slang term, idea and social construct that the Americans come up with. It's funny how so many British comedians go to America to boost their career then put the USA down. Yet, they still like their pay checks. Even idiots like Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel, Seder. Could always move if they don't like USA but they never do.

I wouldn't return to handwriting a report at work, and I won't buy CDs anymore. I believe these things are driven by us rather than an entity like WEF. We just do what suits us best. Own nothing and be happy...yeah right. Neil Young took off his music on Spotify, luckily I own all his studio albums and Crazy Horse.
