BBC2: The nice lady introduces a programme that promises to explore the issue of, and I quote: "How the digital revolution will change the way we buy music forever."

Wow. As if, a few years down the line (presumably when mankind is once again tilling the fields in some post-cataclismic, agrarian era, doubtless the result of post-war greed etc.) people are going to decide to go back to buying records, or gathering around the wireless, or perhaps performing in the village square. Things change: it's called progress, people. And this programme is adding nothing to the debate.

How wonderfully insightful: They've moved on, with depressing inevitability, to the favoured journalistic over-simplification of the Arctic Monkeys and Myspace. Of which more will follow later.
