Looking for Examples for Music (Industry) and Web 2.0 interaction

[whomario]

Hey guys, working on a project in that area and am currently looking for some good examples to use. Aditional information in the form of charts and the like would be neat as well, but mainly looking for concrete examples.

Basically things like "label xy has an interesting strategy/cooperation going" or "artist z did/does this amazing thing where he gets the fans involved".
For example the Arctic Monkey´s had a fan release a demo of them on his website, kickstarting them.

Thought that there´s a good chance that you guys have some good ideas in that regard, so many thanks in advance :)

Umm...

Let me google that for you (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=music+industry+and+web+2.0)

Just being funny. But yeah...there's LOTS of stuff out there. Not just one story. I mean, you can even talk about Spotify, Rdio and the various streaming services. But this is a pretty abstract topic, so it could go in a lot of directions.

Maybe if someone else in here did their book report on it, they'll share it with you. ;)

I'm thinking there's not exactly an MLBTradeRumors aggregator for music as it would just be too big

SI

Wilco garnered media attention for its fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_Hotel_Foxtrot) (2002), and the controversy surrounding it. After the recording sessions were complete, Reprise Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reprise_Records) rejected the album and dismissed Wilco from the label. As part of a buy-out deal, Reprise gave Wilco the rights to the album for free. After streaming Foxtrot on its website, Wilco sold the album to Nonesuch Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonesuch_Records) in 2002. Both record labels are subsidiaries of Warner Music Group (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Music_Group), leading one critic to say the album showed "how screwed up the music business is in the early twenty-first century."<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference">[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilco#cite_note-2)</sup> Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Wilco's most successful release to date, selling over 670,000 copies
