Musical Paranoia

The new technology: YouTube, camera phones, laptops, I-pods, blogs. It's a nightmare for a musician - you DARE NOT try out new songs at a concert anymore!:
And White knows exactly who to blame for this consumption frenzy: you. OK, maybe not you specifically, but the idea of you. You're caught in a dead sprint with other hipsters and music geeks to discover the latest band, the latest track, the latest sound bite before anyone else. You're desperate for it. You scrounge the Internet. You download podcasts. You read every review. And someone has to outfit your search, supplying all the insta-facts and quick-take columns you're drooling to consume.
