Another artist who took the download route was Tech N9ne. He went through this whole F.T.I. (Fuck the industry) movement some time back. He offered his whole CD, Absolute Power, up for download. For the actual CD release, which you could buy for 15 bucks, you'd get 6 extra songs and a DVD. It was pretty cool. I just enjoy knowing that I could make a CD out of my music if I so chose.

I must say I am very happy with the results. Fast, easy, the downloader is unobtrusive, and I just copied those mp3's to all of my various devices and computers. Amazing.

Also, there are a variety of sites that have all sorts of music the band's trying to promote, such as www.lunarmusic.net. I listen to Lunar and Morpheus a decent amount, and they both offer their music free of charge. One band that's been fighting a lot of the conventional methods of music distribution has been Nine Inch Nails. They've been quoted several times during their shows as telling the fans to steal their music because the CDs cost too much, and recently they've left their record label to distribute music on their own. (You can Google and YouTube piles of articles and videos supporting this.) It's been reported they may take the Radiohead approach, but who knows.

You'd be proud to know that I hunted through iTunes for an album. I almost bought it until I recalled this post and Amazon! Cheaper and mp3s! Oh yeah.
