Pretty good, in my opinion.

Also, it's interesting to see how a number of major artists (Radiohead, NIN) are trying a different approach than the RIAA one. I wonder how it'll work out.

thanks 4 the heads up ... I was listening to ]Closer earlier today! :thumbsup

I liked this part:

Translation, we have enough money, we just want to make our music and put it out there for people to hear.

or

Translation, we're not as popular as we used to be and want to get our name out there more so we can sell out more tours.

Your take?

It is an interesting approach hey.

They state on their site "for those of you interested in physical products, fear not. we plan to make a version of this release available on CD and vinyl in july. details coming soon."

I wonder if its a loyalty thing.

I'm sure they would get some publicity out of it anyways, so its not really a loss.

Mark.

A bit of both, as well as a genuine interest in sharing his creations with others.

I'm going to start giving porn away for free.

Wait... everyone is already doing that.

Never mind.

Translation: we're only going to make a few bucks on the CD anyways, but concert tickets and tshirt prices will be higher ;-)

I put 2 emails in and haven't gotten a download link.. checked the spambox and nothing. lol

oh well.

music...
 

music industry is fucked. they are trying anything they can to sell music. not easy to do this when you can get it for free. so ticket prices for shows are fucking stupid!!! not fun! who can afford to go to a show anymore?

maybe the truth is they can upsell AFF better? I mean, One CD sale, = $1.00 to them
One AFF sale = $25....

Does Radiohead ring a bell?

If you only listen to big acts that are well established then I suppose the ticket prices could seem steep. But you can still go see a mid level band play for around $20-30 depending on where it is. The Raconteurs is a good recent example.

i want to host with the place that is hosting that. OMG just downloaded from server at 4MBs a second. :)

I got 5mbs. He's a smart guy.

Trent is a Genius.

I think we have a winner! :thumbsup
