Former New York Times music-biz reporter Jeff Leeds resurfaces on Sasha Frere Jones’ blog at The New Yorker, and the two discuss a few topics, including the current state of the art/commerce divide. This quote from Leeds, in particular, resonates: “I always think of music as Patient Zero in all the disorder that is changing everything in entertainment and media, including, by the way, newspapers.” SFJ says that if the e-mails keep coming, he’ll keep posting ‘em, and surely I’m not the only one who hopes that this conversation stretches for a while.
