Everything that happens will happen today, for free!
David Byrne & Brian Eno publishes their latest collaboration online. You can listen to the entire album and even embed it in your own site for free. The album “Everything that happens will happen today” is only sold though their website http://www.everythingthathappens.com/ and is available in many different digital and physical formats.
I guess David Byrne is following his own preachings, here is the blurb from a panel he participated in last year at SXSW, titled Record Companies: Who Needs Them?:
Rock renaissance man and Talking Head David Byrne explores the state of the music business from an artist’s perspective. With the rapid fall of recording costs and distribution costs, the economics of the music industry have tilted in the favor of the artist. What kinds of business models make the most sense for the artist, what are their ramifications, and most importantly, what should artists be aiming for in the long run?
David Byrne has popped up all over the place lately, but I especially liked his wonderful Playing the building-project, which you can see more from in the boing boing tv video embedded below:
