Look behind the music biz
I find myself at the Australian Music Online website regularly. It’s one of those rare Australian government projects that works. Maybe it’s because they’re affiliated with the funding bodies that steamroll a lot of the bands or that they aren’t dependent on commercial advertising.
The band interviews are pretty similar to the rest of the sites out there. But the music industry pieces are great - they pin down the people who actually run things. And it’s fascinating stuff.
They recently had my brother chatting about the workings of his label Elefant Traks, but they have have interviews with A&R, PR, managers, bookers, writers and basically everyone in the industry.
