Free Music and Myspace

I've been giving away free music at my shows and online for about 6 years now and everybody told me I was crazy to do it and that I'd never make any money and that it made other artists lose money. And now everybody's giving away music as fast as they can. Well, maybe not the folks who were giving me a a hard time but the younger generation that gets that you can make more fans i.e. more money that way are putting music out there not only online and on CD's but pretty much any way they can. Huge bands like Radiohead are giving it away right beside smaller less known bands and it's working. Just so everyone knows...I was right. So there.

Also, Myspace sucks. Apparently now you can't let people download your music from your band page so I'm going to find a way to give away ALL my music online. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I just want you to be able to hear music any time you want. Oh, you lucky, lucky, lucky people. But luck has nothing to do with it. That's the way it's suppose to be. It's just that everybody hasn't quite caught on to that yet.
