Will P do something like the Pumpkins? http://www.smashingpumpki...tion-model
NEW SMASHING PUMPKINS SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Today SmashingPumpkins.com announced that an online 12-week subscription service will be made available in the near future, that is, if demand is ample for the project. What does that mean? It means that if you are interested in this experimental way to acquire and listen to new music as it's being created, you need to make it known that you want it! You can do this by signing up for a recently created SP Newsletter centered around this project. All that is required is your age and password. All of the details on this project are not concrete yet, but some information has all ready been provided. * $40 for 12 weeks. A minimum of 5 updates from the studio per week, so that's 60 updates for $40. * Updates would be posted in a less-than-24-hour consistency. For instance, if something happened on Monday, it would be posted no later than Tuesday * Each update would be a minimum of 5 minutes in length. That would mean subscribers would receive at least 25 minutes of unique audio/video material per week, and at least 5 hours over the course of the 12 weeks. * There is a possibility of live streaming video content in addition to what has been presented above. The possibilities for a rare look into the creation of a Smashing Pumpkins album are quite exciting. The project will really take on a life of its own, and you can have your own front-row seat to watch everything that is happening. If you are interested, above all, please sign up for the special newsletter. If there is perceived to be a lack of interest, the project may be delayed for until a later time. For more information, please visit SmashingPumpkins.com.

i am interested in this. thanks! i know billy gets knocked a lot these days but i really enjoyed the filmore shows as well as zeitgeist AND the song that came out during super bowl.
by the way, i think this is the wave of the future...paying for and treating music as a service rather than a product. An individualist is a man who lives for his own sake and by his own mind; he neither sacrifices himself to others nor sacrifices others to himself... | |

Hate to be repetitive but Todd Rundgren pioneered this type of thing (Artist direct to fans) back in 1998 with PatroNet
PatroNet.com has launched Todd Rundgren's revolutionary new software, The Interocitor, for the delivery of creative content, way beyond just downloading music. This on-line service allows Todd to establish a relationship with his fans in a way that will bring artist and patron closer than ever before possible. For only $40.00 a year you can have access to Todd like you have always wanted but never could before.
The Interocitor is a multiple channel, 3D environment that will include: 1.No longer wait two years for a new CD, get the music as soon as Todd records it. Hear the new CD "One Long Year", also available see several new flash animation that accompany a few songs. 2.Live and taped concert web casts. Footage from the current "Power Trio" tour, see Kasim fall and break his leg on stage. Stop into the Tiki Room's cocktail lounge before watching a show from "With A Twist" tour. Order a tropical refreshment from our friendly bartender served in a Tiki God cup. Check out the Mai Tai Museum while there. 3.Games based on Todd and Utopia's music. Help Todd climb to the top of the pyramid to save Singring from eternal imprisonment in the glass guitar while Roger, Kasim and Willie try to stop him. Or play a game of "Concentration" using sound bites from all of Todd's solo albums. 4.The House Of Fashion, archiving the many colorful stage costumes Todd has worn throughout his career. Photos spanning Todd's career and life. Fans will have the ability to submit and have their photos of Todd hung in the gallery as well. 5.The Castle of Mystery where you can get your deepest and darkest questions answered. Find out if you can levitate Todd. 6.Live chats with Todd. Receive post cards and e-mail from Todd himself.

I will sign up for this before I sign up for Lotus  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

carlcranshaw said: Hi TA,
This is quite true. Hey cc, great clip. When he said, "Most people who might be the source of that new thing will give up in frustration before they get to realize it.", Lewis Taylor immediately came to mind. I think it was a good model then and it's still a good model today. Artists with a track record and an established fan base will have an edge, but new serious artists that are in it for the long haul could also take advantage of it. tA Tribal Disorder
