OK, guys, I heard about this one on NPR. Apparently, Radiohead has produced an album and is selling it by themselves for any price the customer chooses. Have you heard about this? No distributor, no labels, no percentages--just the album, the fan, and the artist. Check it out at Radiohead.com. What do you guys think about this? It seems like something revolutionary. Music is a difficult business, even when you hit it big--or perhaps especially when you hit it big. You know those little scavenging fish that follow a giant predator around. Well, as I understand it, the way the music business is set up, the band--the actual artist is somehow relegated to being just one of the scavenging fish--not the shark. That is, the percentages that go to the band are minimal. Now, I don't think that this will make the world any easier for someone like my brother or Randy or DJ Earl E (by the way, Earl E, two of your songs are in my brother's top ten songs of all time--he was playing it at an open house he was throwing and everyone was asking, "what band is this?"), but for a well established band like Radiohead, this might really work--even on the simple business end of the equation. I am inclined to support Radiohead in this endeavor (and, of course, it helps that I like the band so much), but what do you guys think?...
