There’s a balance to technology…a lot of people are focusing on the things we lose through time because of technology. Many the resources that come from selling your music on CD format…I’ll go to a place and they’ll all be singing a song and I’ll know that that’s “Who’s Gonna Save You Now” from my live album knowing fully that I’ve never sold my live album at the college there–it’s all been burned. But a lot of times you wouldn’t be seeing that money anyway because it’s going to the label. But the technology that comes with that allowed cell phones–I mean cell phones are invaluable on the road. Having your laptop on the road to book hotels online is awesome. Mapquest is a killer for musicians–it’s so easy to get the club.

–Mark Mallman talking about the advantages of technology for musicians.
