Appetite for Self-Destruction<\/strong>: I left the selection of this week’s New Stuff Tuesday up to one of our student assistants, Nate. You can be the judge of whether or not he picked a good one (I think that he did – especially since I was the one that ordered it). You better come check it out before he does.<\/p>\n Knopper, a contributing editor at Rolling Stone<\/a>, blames the record industry for its own self-implosion and documents the music biz’s rise through the 1980s and 1990s and the subsequent meltdown. While many would point to Napster<\/a> as the giant killer, the author names names and the exact mistakes made – eight in all – to create their own fight for survival. In case you’re wondering, the business committed five major mistakes before Shawn Fanning<\/a> released his infamous file-sharing program. With extensive insider knowledge, Knopper does an excellent job of chronicling the industry, from Video Killed the Radio Star<\/a> to the boy bands<\/a> to the iPod<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Record Industry in the Digital Age By Steve Knopper ML3790 .K57 2009 New Book Island, 2nd floor I left the selection of this week’s New Stuff Tuesday up to one of our … Continue reading
