Innovation starts with a blank slate. Sure, you bring all you’ve learned, the tools to the table. But innovation cannot be proven by theorem, there’s no research that will tell you you’ve got a success on your hands. Rather you fly by your wits, your gut, you do what feels right instead of what looks right.
There is stagnation at the major labels because there’s no innovation. They’re dying because they’re not selling anything new. Despite having tons of money, they take no risk. This is what is hurting them more than P2P and the breaking of their distribution monopoly. One great thing about art is we want the original, we want the Beatles, not an imitator, sign the original and you can win for years. But you’ve got to take the risk. And now that music is more business than art, no one wants to.
Innovation starts with a blank slate. Nice.

If you travel a lot throughout the United States, you might lose track of which menace you should be irrationally paranoid about in each particular state. Is Maine the one with Lobster People, or is that New Hampshire? Now you'll never get confused again, thanks to this amazingly informative map from Pleated Jeans. [via Laughing Squid]
