NPR did a nice piece this am on Radiohead's new business model. Very cool. Wish more bands did that.

I agree to a point. There is a difference between emerging artists and money-whores on tour 30 years after they made bazillions.

surely if you become famous for your music, it'd be quite impractical to keep a regular job that pays? not just because you're writing, recording and touring all the time (which i think is reason enough), but because you'd get harassed by colleagues and/or customers all the time.
"musicians should never be dependent on money" - you say this as if musicians are in a different league to us regular mortals who need money to survive.
some people don't mind paying for someone's art... thank god these people exist, otherwise good bands couldn't exist.
ps. i didn't read the blog, i don't know what bob says.
I like to complain |

Art should be free. Musicians should never be dependent on money.
Money is only a problem when you dilute your form of expression, be dishonest with yourself or give up your dignity to get it, like when a band with a healthy creative streak starts listening to a music producer who would like to blandify the music to make it appeal to a broader section of the public - for example, Dillinger Escape Plan changing from a band capable of all those loopy time signatures and melodies into making slick niche-marketed garbage in the space of one album.
I put on shows and it gives me and my girlfriend and her cat a nice place to live, I'm cool with that. I don't see being a musician as being different than being a baker - people either like my bread and they come back for more or they don't and they go eat something else.

I like paying for music! It's one of the few things I enjoy paying for.
This thing Radiohead is doing is cool, though. I'm mostly interested in the fact that they're releasing it in a big deluxe edition with CDs and vinyl. This fits in with a long-simmering theory of mine that the record business will respond to the changing times by becoming more like the book business.
New hardcover books are expensive--about $30 on average--and I think physical copies of music will become more expensive. Lowering CD prices isn't going to do anything. So many people today with their iPods aren't interested in CDs at any price. So, I think it would interesting to raise prices and go after the collectors, and give them nice things to collect. Make it a nice, luxurious package, and then, if demand is sufficient, a more barebones "paperpack" copy comes out later. This Radiohead thing is perfect example of this.
The pricey, deluxe, collectible, "first edition" release = hardcover book
The conventional CD release (which Radiohead is apparently going to put out next year) = paperback book
Free sound files on the internet = copy at the library
I like that.
I've never cared about Radiohead, but I'm gonna give a listen to the new album. If I like it, I might blow the $80 on the CD/LP set--for the music and to support what they're doing. |

Was it the lack of people buying your bread that made you become a msucian instead and write songs about it?

yes I just got back a month ago. I lost my passport so had to travel back over land, which is cool in its own way. Right now I'm enjoying being in the same place for more than 48 hours. Got some great photos there I'll pass on to you!

Where in Southern Italy where you? And to pretend that we didn't detail the thread, did you hear any new Radiohead there?

I was all over south Italy, zigzagging about from festival to festival: Lecce, Potenza, Taranto, Castallaneta. I'm into an internet cafe now and the time is going to run out, I'll write you an email!
