95bFM on Digital Music Pricing in NZ, Supporting Artists, and a New Music Store
Real Groove’s From The Bleachers on 95 bFM this week discusses “digital and physical pricing, the dominance of iTunes and alternatives which have sprung up like the recently launched sellmates” Sellmates.co.nz are selling full albums from some artists for $12, and So So Modern ’s EP from $1.95. It seems to be mostly Blink artists from A Low Hum. “I bought direct from artists on a number of occasions which I find the most satisfying experience of all is where you can go somewhere and it’s $5 goes straight to the artists pocket, there’s nothing more than feels more right as a music consumer than that” Damn straight, listen to this man and the mp3 discussion here .
