What a week for music!So Radiohead and NIN went DIY, Madonna is consolidating her music revenues with Live Nation and the RIAA is still suing housewives.
With music downloading firmly established as the distribution method of choice and the significance of record sales as a revenue generator diminishing, it seems musicians are being forced to redefine their careers, expand their thinking on what they're marketable assets are and reconsider how they manage their income sources.
Is it any wonder then, that the Band U2 has gone into real estate.
Teaming up with, apparently Great Britain's only employed architect, Sir Norman Foster, the Irish foursome of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen won the contract to build Dublin's first skyscraper. The tower is a 600ft shiny tilted triangle full of luxury apartments with an egg-shaped recording studio suspended at the top.
