Occupying the top spot on my Google Reader subscription list, Eric Beall’s Berkleemusic blog (http://ericbeall.berkleemusicblogs.com/) is a go-to music industry resource of mine. Beall is currently an A&R for Shapiro, Bernstein & Co, one of the nation’s most eminent independent music publishers. As someone who has a successful career in the business, he’s able to draw on personal experiences and provide information that you simply can’t get from the majority of music industry pundits.
