… or even the month. My girl and I are off on the final leg of our autumn/winter travels on Friday, taking in Japan, Australia and New Zealand, back in the New Year. So this may be the last post here for a while unless something big kicks off new music style in the next 48 hours. See you in ‘07!

From hypebot: RIAA Petitions For Lower Songwriter Royalties. Yup, they’re all about protecting the artists …
Meanwhile, Sir Andrew Gowers’ report on UK IP law – including the review into extending recording copyright beyond 50 years is out [whole thing] – and it looks to have confirmed Katie Melua and Mick Hucknall’s worst nightmares: no proposal to extend copyright in recordings beyond the current 50 years. Huzzah to Gowers!
And Scott has some intriguing data on 25 years of classical music sales. Go read – you’ll be surprised.
