Well, whenever there’s a gap, a new business opportunity arises. Radiohead’s manager Brian Message, has a new business venture called Polyphonic, which will invest money in upcoming artists, helping them connect with their audience on the Internet. It makes sense: if you can’t/won’t do it, you can try and find a manager who can.
Now, why might this work?
