By Mike Noonan Correspondent

As opposed to writing about politics, which I have been doing lately, I decided to address something very close to me: the state of the music industry. Like most audiophiles, to call me "not a fan" of the music industry would be an understatement. But alas, there is good news, because the music industry as we know it is changing very quickly. One could say it is dying. There are many nails in the coffin of the music industry, and perhaps the biggest one is the Internet. The Internet has completely changed how people can get music. People can download songs for free, which is legal for certain types of music; in fact, 90s band Harvey Danger released their 2005 album exclusively on bit torrent, a somewhat complicated new- age downloading technique, for free. CD sales over the last few years. The through the radio, MTV (back when there Internet. Many bands are following suit, and mp3 format has almost wiped out the CD was music on MTV) or that one friend As for the fan, there are many Internet some indie labels are even placing their single format (you remember, CD's with a everyone had who was always a little ahead radio stations and forums for people to entire catalogue on bit torrent for people single song and maybe a B-side). The fact of the pulse. discuss music. Even our very own WXAV to download for free. While most free is the mp3 will never replace the feeling The Internet has made bands from streams over the Internet, at www.wxav. music downloads are legal, many of those of opening up a brand new CD. every place in the world available to com so anyone anywhere can listen. For put out by major labels are still illegal. So how is the music industry dying? everyone else in the world. Thanks to people who like CDs as opposed to mp3s Isn't it funny how the indie labels running It is collapsing under its own weight. The websites like MySpace and Pure Volume, there are more options as well. Now fans out of a garage in the middle of nowhere industry has reached a point where it is anyone with a recorded song and a profile can get hard-to-find CDs from the internet are the first to give the music away for free, so huge that it is suffocating itself, and can be heard anywhere.
