So we’re going to the gig and Harry points over his shoulder and says
"There’s Buckingham Palace."\u00c2\u00a0 Now usually you’re a tourist, hunting down these
attractions, but to be cruising with residents in their car is a wholly different
experience.\u00c2\u00a0 The flag was raised.\u00c2\u00a0 The Queen was in.\u00c2\u00a0 I suggested dropping by.\u00c2\u00a0
Hell, in L.A. you’d see her in a club.\u00c2\u00a0 Everybody’s out and accessible in L.A.
Can you imagine the Queen in "The Enquirer"?\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe eating a bagel in the
back seat of her Rolls?<\/p>\n
And the show was in a building owned by the crown.\u00c2\u00a0 An art academy\/museum.<\/p>\n
What a space.\u00c2\u00a0 It seems nightlife is still happening here.<\/p>\n
Oh, it’s happening in the U.S.\u00c2\u00a0 In the form of DISCOS!\u00c2\u00a0 Put on your trendy
clothes and go out and bump and grind.\u00c2\u00a0 But this was a different crowd.\u00c2\u00a0 Not
every body was perfect.\u00c2\u00a0 Only about a third had on their look.\u00c2\u00a0 They were
scenesters of a different type.\u00c2\u00a0 The twentysomethings who need to be OUT!<\/p>\n
Really, it was quite an interesting space.\u00c2\u00a0 There were art exhibits.\u00c2\u00a0 A
Concentration game made up of Polish posters.\u00c2\u00a0 You hit a block like Whack-A-Mole to show its colors and then you hit another block for a match.\u00c2\u00a0 If you succeeded
the two stayed lit, if not, they went back to their generic format.<\/p>\n
There was a pulse here.<\/p>\n
Actually, it’s a completely different business here.\u00c2\u00a0 People still buys CDs.\u00c2\u00a0
They take the iTunes Music Store seriously.\u00c2\u00a0 Bands can still change the world.<\/p>\n
Turns out the album of the year is by someone who’s made no impact in the
U.S. yet.\u00c2\u00a0 James Blunt.\u00c2\u00a0 Will was singing along as we navigated our way through
the streets of Manchester on the way to London.\u00c2\u00a0 Go to the U.S. iTunes Music
Store and download his single for free.\u00c2\u00a0 You’ll get an idea of where the U.K.
market is at.<\/p>\n
Then again, it’s not narrow like the U.S.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not all hip-hop all the time.
This is just an ELEMENT!\u00c2\u00a0 God, everybody here wants to talk music.\u00c2\u00a0 Nobody
wants to talk music in the U.S.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s only about the money.<\/p>\n
And that’s not the only thing that’s different.\u00c2\u00a0 The happening acts, the ones
with the serious buzz, they sign to independents.\u00c2\u00a0 Franz Ferdinand…\u00c2\u00a0 Hell,
the majors will offer them anything they want, they’ll match any deal, they’re
just that hungry.\u00c2\u00a0 But the acts turn them down. So, the download revolution
isn’t happening here, but the indie revolution is.<\/p>\n
So, I’m dead tired and under the weather, but I wanted to tell you the latest This week I tackle the concert grosses.\u00c2\u00a0 It was recorded a couple of weeks <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So we’re going to the gig and Harry points over his shoulder and says "There’s Buckingham Palace."\u00c2\u00a0 Now usually you’re a tourist, hunting down these attractions, but to be cruising with residents in their car is a wholly different experience.\u00c2\u00a0 The flag was raised.\u00c2\u00a0 The Queen was in.\u00c2\u00a0 I suggested dropping by.\u00c2\u00a0 Hell, in L.A.
