More Bands Following Radioheads Example

So of course there's the NIN announcement, but the Telegraph is reporting on even more groups wading in after Radiohead (you should actually be downloading their new album now instead of reading this, unless you're reading this while WAITING to download their new album). For me, this is probably the most exciting development in distribution since the original Napster debuted.

Oasis has already announced that its next single, Lord Don’t Slow Me
Down, will be available only to download for 99 pence. Meanwhile
rumours abound that Madness, a band with a loyal fanbase amongst
40-somethings, is considering giving away its next album for free.

MADNESS?!?!?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?
ONE STEP BEYOND?!?!?!
I'M SO THERE!!!



*ahem*

Labels are going to have to get savvy PDQ, or they'll be going away.

And right now, I can't really say they'd be missed...
