my take on how -or how *not*- musical artists are using the much-discussed new resources  for promoting music.

| me taking a
break from promotion | 
  From decades of
dealing with bands and artists as a producer, one thing that has struck me is
that there seems to be *less* aggressive promotion going on these days - and
certainly less than all the commentary about new-media tools for artists would
have one believe. 
Could this be an
illusion ?
