Great interview but would have loved to have heard what is the unfinished business in Bohane which was a "marmite" novel (I loved it but everyone else who got my copy didn't). His outlook and approach to writing was interesting and no-bullshit refreshing....the use of background music similiar to Ian Rankin's (but Tubby as opposed to Mogwai).

The movie in the background is the 1973 version of THE WICKER MAN, a horror thriller written by playwright Anthony Shaffer (who wrote Hitchcock's FRENZY and also SLEUTH). It stars Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland.

MUCH better than the awful remake, which tries to transplant pagan goings-on at a remote Scottish Island to the US. Unoriginal plot dressed up very creatively. Good cast; doesn't drag its feet, so you don't have time to stop & think and guess the ending. Won a couple of awards. .

You can see Ekland clearly (that's her nude scene at 2:36) and there re shots of Woodward (who played THE EQUALIZER) and Lee (in a couple of costumes) at other points

At the end of the day, people want easy access to digital music (and film/tv for that matter) without taking up a lot of storage. Streaming music is ideal for the consumer but not ideal for artists with the current business model Spotify employs. This is not a consumer problem, this is a business problem. If it means streaming music needs to cost more, then so be it. I pay the $10 a month now because that's what's asked of me and it grants me access to most of the music I enjoy. If they asked for more and that streaming service offered the music i wanted to hear, I would pay it. Gladly. Am I interested in purchasing physical cd's or itunes albums that are a nuisance with storage and compatibility, etc? No. Younger and future generations, less so. You also can not rely on a broad spectrum of "fans" to support the band by purchasing physical cd's or t-shirts they may or may not like.

Recently there have been a few tracks that I could only get on Soundcloud so I went to the trouble of signing up for an account there. Maybe I'm more of a music enthusiast than your average Joe but there will always be a demand for recorded music. If the labels (or indie artists), publishers and Spotify (or the next best thing) could get on the same page and come up with a better business deal (higher compensation in exchange for exclusivity) I think everybody could be happy. I truly believe consumers will pay more if that's their only option. Yes, there will also be file sharing and bit torrents but those are a pain in the ass for most people and not worth the hassle. The general public wants something easily accessible and they will pay for it.

The music industry needs to get on the same page and hold out for something better. Not an easy task but I don't see how you can demand more for your artists if you don't all hold out for something better.

I use Spotify every single day - it's really handy. But it should be used with a conscience - I buy the records I like, to support the artist, so they can make more for me to enjoy in the future. If people think it's okay to pay a tenner a month (or nothing) for unlimited music, then there's something wrong. At the very least, buy a t-shirt at a gig.. something.. anything!
