(via boing boing<\/a> – and i’m so glad to pick this one up).<\/p>\n

scott andrew<\/a> has decided to conduct a little experiment<\/a> with human lab rats (that’s you).<\/p>\n

not only has he put together a new diy release of his material (which is something musicians occasionally do), he’s made it an “enhanced” release. not just a cd, he’s added previously released material (like a whole second album) and new, unreleased material (like a whole bonus single) to the disc. so, he’s calling it “two and a half records in one” – it just happens to fit on one piece of polycarbonate<\/a> – along with lyrics, coverart, notes and a photo gallery. and he’s priced this at $5.<\/p>\n

but wait! there’s more! this is released under a creative commons<\/a> license (tho i couldn’t determine which license it is…)<\/p>\n

two-and-a-half records and some bonus material at a $5 price point – that’s not a bad deal by any stretch of the imagination, right?<\/p>\n

so where’s the experiment? i’ll let scott explain:<\/p>\n

The price is a sliding scale, with a $5 minimum. For the month of October, all amounts over $5 will be donated to the P2P Legal Defense Fund at downhillbattle.org<\/a>, to help out families and individuals hit with RIAA lawsuits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

i don’t know if this is good for scott, or good for his audience. i don’t know if it’ll help him find an audience, or help him buy a big bag of rice to eat through the cold winter months, but he’s a creative person, and he’s decided to run with it.<\/p>\n

good luck, scott.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
