“Our results suggest that the emphasis on novelty in the music domain, by consumers and people often protesting the current state of the music business, is probably misplaced,” Goodman says. “In the marketplace, and in our pilot study, consumers say that they want more novelty when in fact their choices suggest they do not.”

“Theory is something that is written down after the music has been made so we can explain it to others”– Levi Clay
My music buying & listening habits have really changed over the last 5 or so years, and even more so over the last year or so.
I'm not sure whether that's because I've got older, whether the quality of new music really has deteriorated as much as I perceive it to have done, or whether I've just become disconnected from wherever the good stuff is.
Mostly, the radio is on radio4. They don't play a lot of music. Radio 1 has explicitly said that it doesn't want listeners of my age. Radio2 plays (mostly) the classics and when the specialist shows are on (evening), I'm generally not listening. Anything new that I've found has been via Jools, and that's maybe 3-4 new artists in the last couple of years.
Amazon has changed my buying habits in the last year or two. Their free sampler albums have led me into new stuff. Their "other people have bought" links have sometimes been useful (but generally not).
Mainly, I have bought a shedload of old stuff - 50s/early60s - as the compilation albums have come out full of the out-of-copyright stuff. 50 tracks for £3/£4. I'm happy to buy and I've found it more enjoyable than manufactured pop and regurgitated rock that masquerades as "new" stuff. OK, that's unfair and exaggerated to make the point, but it certainly fits the conclusion of the study!

This is an example of something more accessible .. guitarist Eivend Aarset
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Most of the rest is IMO uninteresting.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
