Letting your fans download your record for free if they want, but charging them $5.94 to buy the individual components to a single song, just so they can remix it? (Hmm... didn't Dave Douglas let you remix his stuff... for free?)
"It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever" and I honestly can't decide which side of the line this falls on. David St. Hubbins is looking increasingly prophetic.
(And goddammit, yes, I'd probably be first in line for those tracks if I wasn't flat-broke at the moment -- I have no interest in crating my own remix but I very much love to take songs apart to see how they work.)
Meanwhile, Matana Roberts reacts to the idea (news to me) that an audible Radiohead influence amongst jazz musicians has gone from being trendy to being mandatory.
