Panda Bear melts pink brains over dead mics
First great album of the year? Who cares. Buy it.
Despite the digitalization of music being a miracle cure for indie artists, going broke is still a very real possibility. Like my man Subtitle. Ever met a homeless man with rap fans in Japan? The economics of MP3's are bizarre and far from simple. Yet, I wonder who is going to be the first to point fingers at folks who download and don't go out to shows and support. Or, are we facing an era where musicians will have to get normal jobs like everyone else? It's a terrible situation either way. I hope Subtitle gets that rich a$$ indie label deal he wants. MP3 blogs don't pay the rent that often.
But this does!
