Report card:
Every year grumpy fans howl that music is dead, or on life support, or at least bleeding and confused. But it’s just not so, ever—as the above lists should attest. The music industry, of course, is another matter: As the labels continue the cycle of mergers and layoffs, high-profile artists like Radiohead and Madonna make headlines with forward-thinking deals. At the same time, the live-music scene in NYC has its own problems. Until either the city lets up on its campaign against arts spaces of all sorts or club owners simply become more daring, local musicians will have to keep scrounging (i.e., heading to Brooklyn) for good places to play.
