The future of music?
“The end result is a wildly varied body of music that we're able to present to the world in ways the confines of a major record label would never have allowed - from a 100% DRM-free, high-quality download, to the most luxurious physical package we've ever created.”
I’m really impressed with Trent’s new idea to offer music. It’s obvious that he a real understanding of his fanbase and from what it seems it’s really paying off. I think any artist out there who can afford to make their albums on their own and are out of a recording agreement need to seriously consider this idea and potentially implement something like this for their next album. With the right artist, like NIN, this can really take off and prove to be profitable for everyone involved. Just do the math on the Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition version that Trent was offering.
Thanks C.S.

U2 3D
I finally got to see U2 3D tonight. Even though it cost $11.50 I did walk away with some sweet 3D glasses. I had to go all the way up to Opry Mills to see it, but it was well worth the drive. My old bud Peter Prevost (ex-Johnny Come Lately, currently Sanctus Real) and I went together. It was great hangin’ with him and catchin’ up afterwards at Broadway Brew. But back to U2. I’ve only got 2 thoughts on the film because you really need to see it for yourself.
1.) Only the most bad ass band in the world could pull off a 3D concert for theatres...and that’s U2.
2.) Bono sounds better as he gets older. It’s unreal. His vocals just floored me. Maybe I’m a wuss but I got goose bumps several times.
I’ve also got one more thought on my evening’s experience, though it doesn’t relate to the film as much as it does some of U2’s songs. The following lyrics took on a whole new meaning for me as I watched and listened tonight.
Is it getter better or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
- One
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I’ll wait for you
