Users socialize to figure out what they're going to do on the weekend. They use MySpace to discover new music and post events. Musicians upload their music.

Older audiences are hard to win over. They're very specific in their tastes and critical of new music.
Right out of school, I did this show called 'Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812.' It is based on a classical text with new music - not necessarily confined by a certain genre. It was a diverse, interesting group of musicians, actors, nonactors, and singers all creating this thing that is bigger than all of us.

There will be no new music until it's good enough and until I'm ready.

Absolutely, I never stop working on new music.
The very fact that I've had those established me to continue on to do new music and new projects.

YouTube is a good way to discover new music now because it comes up with that thing at the side with other artists you might like.
