BTW, does the face sitter/gas passer need be a vegan?
Rice milk or soy milk farts?
Which are worse?
I have no idea if SY are vegans. I just know that soy milk produces farts that are painful for others present in the room. And why is it called soy milk? Does soy produce milk?
What was this thread about?

I'm kinda curious what this could be in reference to! I can't think of any conspicuous outside songwriting credits on the last few SY albums, unless it's maybe something by Free Kitten or some other side project.
― Al (sitcom), Friday, 8 July 2005 00:50 (twenty years ago)
In a recent interview, veteran musician Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth had some comments for the donation-based model popularized (but not invented) by Radiohead for the release of their album, In Rainbows in 2007. In a Guardian interview, Gordon offered some criticism saying:
I don't really think they did it by themselves. They did a marketing ploy by themselves and then got someone else to put it out. It seemed really community-oriented, but it wasn't catered towards their musician brothers and sisters, who don't sell as many records as them. It makes everyone else look bad for not offering their music for whatever. It was a good marketing ploy and I wish I'd thought of it! But we're not in that position either. We might not have been able to put out a record for another couple of years if we'd done it ourselves: it's a lot of work. And it takes away from the actual making music.

Because, honestly, any band that has more than 3 000 or so firm fans and can’t leverage that fan base into a reasonable living using the internet is either being dumb or lazy.
t/f? discus
― m coleman, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 09:41 (seventeen years ago)
3000 * $40 (album+gig+shirt) / 2(years) * 4(members) = $15,000 = false.
― man saves ducklings from (ledge), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 10:00 (seventeen years ago)
I'd say anyone who gets stuck at the "* 4" already failed the "dumb" portion, but that's just me.

i think the point is radiohead could do it because they are radiohead, not because it's a great idea.

― 1899 Horsey Horseless (HI DERE), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:00 (seventeen years ago)
but she's saying it IS a great idea for a marketing ploy ("I wish I thought of it!"), just not one that helps their "musician brothers and sisters" because apparently it makes other bands look bad for not giving stuff away.
― da croupier, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:03 (seventeen years ago)
It's a great idea if you're in a position to be able to do it, something that is not true of most bands.
― 1899 Horsey Horseless (HI DERE), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:05 (seventeen years ago)
I don't see why that means Radiohead should be painted as breaking solidarity with their "musician brothers and sisters" for taking advantage of their position to test out a different model, though.
― da croupier, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:08 (seventeen years ago)
what she said might've been reasonable if she'd said it right after In Rainbows came out and noone was really sure what effect it might've had. a year and a half later, though, it's not like it really changed the way bands/labels do business, it's just something that happened along the way while the business went to shit.
― the daily fail (some dude), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:25 (seventeen years ago)
No one said she said anything particularly illuminating or timely, just that she said something most people seem to believe anyway (the Radiohead model worked because they're Radiohead).

It's the complaining that they "made everyone else look bad" that reads like the sour grapes of someone tired of people bringing up radiohead interviews, not the "it wouldn't work for us."

Not that I think it would work with bands that aren't already pretty massive, I'm just curious how many times it's actually been attempted.
fuck radiohead
― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:57 (seventeen years ago)
'choose your price' is really the part that seems like a one-off gimmick. tons more bands big and small have done super low prices, free digital releases, staggered pricing structures, and stuff like that in the last year or so, though.
― the daily fail (some dude), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:58 (seventeen years ago)
Girl Talk did the high profile, choose-your-own-adventure model (before Radiohead?). I wonder if anyone gave him money (I couldn't even be bothered to use hard drive space).
