Could Big Record Companies be understanding the long tail? from the CBC :    One of the things that has been a bother since record companies started issuing back catalogues is they often avoided obscure acts and recordings that wouldn't turn a profit. I guess that's why they are big business. Now as they digitize everything (probably to save money and burn masters), someone has had a wacky idea: why not try to sell them, even if a small audience is the only chance of that? Some money is better than no money and no money is what they get if they don't put it on sale.

The end of an era... dude? from Boing Boing: Wham-O, makers of Frisbee and Hula Hoop, sold to a Hong Kong company. All the time I've spent throwing a Master Disc, usually a 165... a great way to comingle with Greenpeace members and touring caterers. I hope they keep the compounds the same.
