and giving his music away
his music? the copyright issues would see it as him giving other peoples music away, that he hasn't cleared rights for.
I completely agree with you, his motivation is to pack stadiums, there's no left field belief in the honesty system going down here, he's using the recorded works as a loss leader to pull people into his live performance, where he makes the money, which he doesn't have to share with copyright holders. $$$ca-ching$$$

re: Radiohead, albeit at a grassroots level, the model isn't dead yet
not really the same thing though, he's using that model in an attempt to avoid dealing with the copyright issue he faces if he sold his music up front.
If he was seen to be making money from selling his collages he'd be ripped apart by the copyright owners in seconds, he still may be, depending on whether they think he'd be worth the effort. -
simon,
lets have your
- 5 best nz band gigs not featuring a turntable, one has to be in the last 10 years. (has to be a specific gig, not just 'the screaming mee mees' etc, one where the band went beyond performing their great songs, where the event left a permanent impression on you, not physically hopefully)- your 3 best overseas bands playing in nz gigs
- the best thing or 3 you've seen out of nz
and if you must, something involving djs and mass audiences.

don't know about haig's timing acrobatics but I was the perfect combination of an intense performance, cool songs, and perfect sound, paul kean on the desk who pulled a sonic masterpiece in a usually shitty sounding room.
I have a recording of the concert somewhere. -

err haven't we been over this time and time again?
I think last time it was visited there seemed to be a brave new world slant to radioheads bold move toward a visionary business model. the linked article kinda dampens that vibe,
Digital frisbee. Throw it at Robbery.
you kiwi guys and your physical activity.
I'm boycotting all sport cos I just sat through the build up to the olympics and that god awful 2 tribes rip off music tv1 saw fit to run through the back of their "nz and the olympics" thing. it may take some time to recover. -
As if Radiohead care.
only enough to abandon it as a viable business model and relinquish it to the novelty act that it was, got em good attention, worked once, not so much the next time someone tried it.
