xBowtk U cool ))

im from pakistan, there is no concept of a record label here, like the one u guys in the west have, they dont make videos for them and all that kind of stuff, pakistani artists, make their living through concerts ONLY ! and still we got some good acts which are listened/accepted worldwide, like Junoon, Strings, Nusrat Fateh Ali khan… etc… well just making u guys know !

“SVUF | 10/9/2007, 11:17 am EST

Gee…that means I can pay only a penny for an album. My question is this: How can Radiohead and NIN make enough money to support themselves and their families?”

What? Considering artists make $0.67 MAXIMUM per CD, all an artist has to do to be successful is get each person to pay at least that $0.67. Getting $1 per person on average (very feasible since if you like the band you will give at least 5) will mean the artist makes 30% more than the record company gives them.

What if U2 came out wit an album in this manner and said that all proceeds will go to benefit some cause…what will happen then. The potential for this sort of business model is through the roof.

It will surely get rid of crappy artists, plus the focus is back on the music.

Genius Move…genius. The Beatles may have changed music forever, but Radiohead is about to change the music industry forever.

Music as shareware. I love it.

This is sooooo wrong, but it is finished . . .

Revelation 23 | 10/9/2007, 12:40 am EST

And then thou Trent shalt take thy rightful place as Ruler of All Nations, the AntiChrist, receiving thy power directly from thy father Satan, the father of lies.

And Manson, thou shalt be stripped of all thy power, thou shalt relinquish ownership of your sister Evan Rachel over to his lordship, and she shalt be thy brother’s keeper and companion all the days of his reign over all the earth.

They shalt be fruitful and mulitply and fill the earth with all powerful fleshly and celestial beings. But thou Manson, my insolent son, shalt spend all thy days through all eternity in horrible and endless suffering and unprofitable toil and labor.

Here’s the deal - when musicians sell via the record company, they make pennies on the dollars that they record compainies make. Artists make money on the tour, not on record sales. If they go direct, even if a fan pays $5 for the album, ALL of that money goes to the artist, rather than the 15 cents that they receive for a $16.00 album. Cut out the middleman; pay the artist - they’re doing the work!

HOLY SHIT MEGA BALLS
HOW DID YOU DO THAT

Who would win in a cage fight, Trent Reznor or thom yorke? I bet 10$ On trent. Thom Yorke may get more excersize then trent, what with actully recording their album and not just twidiling their thumbs over a Lap Top, but Thom Yorke still looks as if He would simply disapear if he so much as lost 10 Pounds. S-O-N-I-C Y-O-U-T-H next!

“retarded”, you should think about doing stand up comedy; you’re very funny!!!

Mega Balls to the seventy somethingthed power? I guess that’s Mega Super Deluxe Warehouse Going Out Of Business Overstock Liquidation Sale Balls!!!

um, lay off the enter key, moron

I’m glad SVUF took time from his job at BMG or Universal to comment. Come on, most established artist’s see their money come from touring & merchandise sales. Way to go Trent!

Gee…that means I can pay only a penny for an album. My question is this: How can Radiohead and NIN make enough money to support themselves and their families? Imagine paying what you want for any product and/or service rendered. Everyone… money MUST circulate for the world’s Economony to survive!! If I was a musician, I would want my fans to pay a fair reasonable price for my material; not to rip each other off!! To the record industries: You want to save your industry? Try lowering your prices, so everyone can afford to buy your records at affordable prices while still earning a comfortable profit. To all musicians: Unless you were born rich such as Posh Spice that may be able to afford a hair-brained scheme like Radiohead and NIN is trying to pull, just tell your business managers to get the record industry to lower the prices of your material…it’s foolish to tell people to download illegaly and/or steal your material from retailers. Nothing like trying to send your fans to jail!! Geez…what will you guys think of next!?!

bravo, trent reznor. musicians with balls are lining up to throw the record labels overboard. next!!

next will be Britney Spearse,yall.She will release an album online of 12 different burping noises.The album will be titled “Its Britney burping,bitch”.

Who would win in a cage fight, Trent Reznor or thom yorke? I bet 10$ On trent. Thom Yorke may get more excersize then trent, what with actully recording their album and not just twidiling their thumbs over a Lap Top, but Thom Yorke still looks as if He would simply disapear if he so much as lost 10 Pounds. S-O-N-I-C Y-O-U-T-H next!

revelation 23? yeah, that sounds like something your every day paper weight brained blogger would write. yeah, right.

Caution: smart and mean (yeah Bukowski knows the drill) this would be one boring place with out him, that’s for sure.

And then Trent can take his rightful place as Ruler of All Nations, the AntiChrist, receiving his power directly from Satan.

And Manson will be stripped of all power, he will relinquish ownership of Evan over to his lordship, and will spend the rest of his days in hard, endless labor.

What I hope happens is when Billy gets off the road and returns home to Courtney’s castle, she mistakes him for a burglar and puts a rifle hole in his belly this size of an infant’s head. But that’s just me.

hmmmmm Thom, Trent, I would love for Billy Corgan to go down that road but it wont happen any time soon. Perhaps those blokes from Arcade Fire will see the light next.

looks a little like a Vulcan with those earpieces

And REMs the reason, believe me!!!

how can make the rules when your life is devoid of intersting choices. i made need help, but you need to get laid!

GeneSnake7s | 10/8/2007, 7:43 pm EST

“I make the rules, not you. You want to remember that!!!!”

Everybody makes their own rules. What are you, a control freak? You need help.

I meant “musicians”. And “Fuck Yeah!” instead of “Bravo”.

Muscians no longer selling their work to middle men. Bravo.

I make the rules, not you. You want to remember that!!!!

If you don’t care about my opinion, then don’t ask me questions.

I don’t care about your opinion at all. I’m only interested in my words which are designed annoy you!

Iceman, that is an actual photo of Trent.

And it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Hey, I been shelling out money for both of these bands’ music over the years. Why should you care what I know?

Iceman | 10/8/2007, 6:08 pm EST

Is that really Trent Reznor, or is that computer generated graphics? He ’s one scary lookin’ dude. Not ugly, just someone NOT to fuck with!

Trent and Tom? What would you know about it?

Is that really Trent Reznor, or is that computer generated graphics? He ’s one scary lookin’ dude. Not ugly, just not someone not to fuck with!

Trent and Thom are ahead of the game, which shouldn’t come as a surprise.
