Here’s a recap of what went on in the music industry this week, or more accurately this time the last two weeks. Make sure to check out anything you might have missed and leave your comments. Notably missing is anything regarding the Joel Tenenbaum verdict last Friday – but don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of opinions about that. I’ll try to get something up on Monday or Tuesday. In the mean time, feel free to submit a story if you’ve got something that you think the Creative Deconstruction community might be interested in.
