On Saturday, I was walking through Brooklyn Heights and I ran into Davey Inglehoff, and indy crossover radio promotion rep I knew from back in the X-Mix, Armand Van Helden days. We got to talking about the state of the industry and Davey let me know how it is from the inside looking out. Basically, he imparted that if you're on the inside, your world keeps getting smaller and smaller. Lot's of people out of work and those who are left are scrambling to try to figure out the digital music industry, which bypassed them in 2004 as iTunes garnered its 100 millionth download.
I've been working on teaching myself how to build and maintain dynamic, database driven web sites with Open Source portal CMS packages downloaded from OpenSoureCMS.com, a web site where you can download full content management systems that operate in conjunction with the Linux operating system, Apache server, PHP and the MySql database.
