Last.fm: Baby I’m-A Want Your Cash
Yes! Yes! As some of you may know, I’m a “recording” artist, and some time ago I signed up for last.fm’s royalty program. That means that every time someone streams my music on last.fm, I make a little bit of money. I’m all for transparency and being open towards my fans and all that, so please let me share my revenues with you so far (not share share of course, just share as in… well, you know, show you the numbers… I’m not stupid or anything):
So you see, it’s no joke. I’m actually making money off my music. And I want more! Dear fans, you’re wonderful, you’re beautiful. I love you all. Now off you go, off to my artist page on last.fm to help me make more money. Stream my music as if there was no tomorrow. Support the my art. $ee you soon.

Of course, Andy! Is it okay to divide our earnings about once every 15 years, though?
Hmm, 2 streams… you’re the other one, aren’t you?

………The is with the news of Nine Inch Nails latest experiment in building a new business model for musicians. Following on the heels of Radioheads efforts last year this represents an exciting and invigorating new direction for the industry and most interestingly one bypasses major labels and their traditional distribution channels..The industry has been trying to argue for some time now that music sharing steals money from artists. Theyve used scare tactics to try to convince musicians that music sharing will leave them all penniless on the street with hand-lettered cardboard placards reading will compose for food propped up against their tattered guitar cases..Now in my opinion those arguments are pure hokum.
