This is taken from digital music news -

Long Tail author Chris Anderson recently pointed to a growing music industry, and rolled out the data to prove it. Of course, the physical retail sector is sinking, though Anderson isolated the mess during a recent blog entry. “It’s a big mistake to equate the major labels and their plastic disc business with the industry as a whole,” Anderson said. “Indeed, when you stand back and look at all of music, things don’t look so bad at all.”

In the absence of a more comprehensive study of the broader business, Anderson loosely compiled data to prove the point. A Pollstar figure showed concert industry revenues up 3.7 percent for the first half of this year, and Nielsen download data revealed a 46 percent year-over-year climb during the first nine months this year.

Other information pointed to gains across ringtones, artist-related advertising and sponsorships, and even vinyl. Anderson also highlighted continued iPod sales increases, a serious revenue-generator for Apple. “So the problem with the music labels is not that music is an industry in decline, but that they have a too-narrow view of what business they’re in,” Anderson asserted.

Cancelled shows seem to be following Colbie Caillat around, lately. First Girlfrenzy, and now her Tucson show. Word is she has a sore throat. Bummer, Tuscon!

We hope Colby feels better, soon!

Also, if you want to see video clips of her performing at Room 5, CLICK HERE to see her acousticvids page, acousticvids.com/colbiecaillat.

Also, if Colbie is on your radar, you also might seriously enjoy Justin Young and Tristan Prettyman.

It seems the organizers of GirlFrenzy have cancelled with no reschedule date…and the reason has not been explained, either to the ticket-buying public, or (i’ve heard) to the artists themselves.

The website has this official announcement: “Right Arm Entertainment and LiveNation have postponed the first annual GirlFrenzy.”

Wow.  Thanks.  Informative.  lol.

At any rate, a reschedule for “sometime” in 2008 is promised, we’ll  see if that develops.

[verse]
Not much for conversation
I still find need to pray
Sometimes I get tired of walking
Through these ordinary days
If nothing else I get to see you
Even if we never speak
The harm of words though sometimes
We don’t quite know
What they really mean

[chorus]
I don’t know where
I don’t know how
I don’t know why
But your love can make
These things better

[verse]
So let me lay down in this field
And stare up at the sky
I hope the days and clouds
Turn into something
As they pass us by
And maybe you could settle
For a skyline faded blue
I hope that you might settle
For this love I have for you

[chorus 3x]

Your love can make these things better
Your love can make these things better
Your love can make these things better

I built another temple to a stranger
I gave away my heart to the rushing wind
I set my course to run right into danger
Sought the company of fools instead of friends

You know I’ve been unfaithful
Lovers in lines
While you’re turning over tables with the rage of a jealous kind
I chose the gallows to the aisle
Thought that love would never find
Hanging ropes will never keep you
And your love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind

Trying to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading
For solace in the shift of the sinking sand
I’d rather feel the pain all too familiar
Than to be broken by a lover I don’t understand
‘Cause I don’t understand

One hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars
If I should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace
And love that shames the wise, betrays the heart’s deceit and lies
And breaks the back of foolish pride

I do not love you the way I did when we met
There are secrets and arguments that I haven’t finished yet
It’s only that grace has outlived our regrets
We’re still here

Maybe we can stay
‘Til the last drop of water flows under the bridge
We can stay
‘Til the last drop of water flows under the bridge

There are times meant for breaking
And words to ignore
And a bent to our souls
When our skin is at war
If leaving were freedom
Well, we’d both walk right out of that door

Maybe we can stay
‘Til the last drop of water flows under the bridge
We can stay
‘Til the last drop of water flows

And the years roll by
And you hold my hand
While the shadows stretch over the land
Crumble and fall in my arms
And we’ll struggle to hold on
Waters, they rise
And they carry our hopes and our dreams away
Baby, we can stay, stay

And the years roll by
And you hold my hand
And the shadows stretch over the land
Baby, we can stay

‘Til the last drop of water flows under the bridge
We can stay
‘Til the last drop of water flows under the bridge
We can stay
‘Til the last drop of water flows under the bridge
