KEEPIN' IT REEL TO REEL: THE FUTURE OF MUSIC

Program 05-05-15-B

Listen!

Seven hundred million people get their music from the Internet. More than 10 million people own iPods. Does this mean that compact discs and record companies are going the way of the gramophone and eight-track tapes? In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, we'll look at this digital music revolution...as we explore the future of music.

SEGMENT 1:

Bart Plantenga tells Steve Paulson about the global reach of yodeling – from Switzerland to Africa topopular music and film. Plantenga is the author of "Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo: The Secret History of YodelingAround the World." We also hear examples of yodeling. Also, David Kusek tells Jim Fleming how the digital music revolution is changing the way people consume music and what the record industry will have to do to survive. Kusek is the co-author of "The Future of Music: Manifesto for the Digital Music Revolution."

SEGMENT 2:

Glenn Tilbrook talks to TTBOOK producer Doug Gordon about his musical career – as a solo artist and as a co-founder of one of the most acclaimed bands from the New Wave era, Squeeze. We hear many samples of Tilbrook's music.

SEGMENT 3:

Singer/Songwriter John Wesley Harding talks to Anne Strainchamps about his double life as a musician and a novelist. Harding has transformed one
of his songs into a novel called "Misfortune." He's published the novel under his real name, Wesley Stace. We also hear excerpts from the original song
and two songs which are featured in the novel.
