More information about my 2nd book "Music 2.0"
Below is a list of some of the most popular essays that I have written during the past few years. If you are looking for my presentations, you can download 30+ of them - on many different topics - here, via this blog and here, via slideshare - just don't print them all ;). You can find a lot more press coverage and links here.
Please note that while I have written a lot about the music industry in the past, most of my current work is outside of music; for examples of recent speaking engagements please go here.
