Quick: slow down. Try to disengage from the world and do absolutely nothing, just for a second. Difficult, isn’t it?
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame is offering his new record – free of charge – simply by going to his web site and downloading it. You can get the first 9 tracks for free, you can pay $5 for the entire 36-track cycle, $10 for the double-disc set, $70 for Deluxe Edition Package which includes the CDs, a DVD with everything broken out into multi tracks (for importing into ProTools I guess) and a Blu-Ray disc with everything in hi-def. Sheesh.
But that ain’t all. For all you NIN fanatics, you can get a $300 ultimate, super duper, sweet ass version. THIS JUST IN: Apparently there are a lot of fanatics out there since the 2500 run of the SDSAV is all sold out after just two days of release. By my admittedly rudimentary mathematical calculations, that put $750,000 into Rezor’s poket since Tues. Wowzers. And since there is no record label involved, that’s real cash for him. Nobody to take their piece. Again I say – Wowzers.
In other news, Big Head Todd & The Monsters are also offering their new record free on their site. I heard them on a radio interview talking about how they’re really a live band and just want to play their music for people. Again, label free, they are distributing their album for noting via the web. I went over there yesterday, signed up (they captured my information, good for them) and they sent me a link to download the album. Also saw that they’re coming to KC soon. Guess what? I plan to be there cause I like this record.
I now proclaim the traditional record company-band/artist model fully and most certainly dead. Trent Reznor fucked it like an animal this week. And Big Head Todd, well, let’s just say they aren’t feeling bitterswet about any of it.
Yes, we’re all Americans but to many, that’s not all. It doesn’t paint the complete picture of a person if the culture from which they came is overpowered by the fact they are an American.
American entertainment companies are lining up to deliver their brand experiences in a land far far away.
