+ 25.May.07 Whores & Wings
Don’t be worried by the name of the episode. I have not gone all explicit on you. It is more of a joke then anything else. *grin* I didn’t get into it on the show because it’s really not worth it, but if you are curious about the name calling I talk about it here.
Listen to Accident Hash #230
The Whores & Wings Show
Featured on this episode:
- Matthew Ebel - This Too Shall Pass
- Matthew Ebel - Amazing Grace
- Corporate Whore -Anthem
- Matthew Ebel - Trees
Be sure to take a moment and buy a copy of Virtual Hot Wings. If you want to read more about this whole initiative the social media press release has them. You can also purchase your copy in Second Life if you wish.
Finally, if you are around today at 2 pm EST, Matthew will be doing a concert in the Coke Pavilion as part of the Virtual Thirst contest.
I also played a promo for Radio BSOTS and one from my good friend Paige at MommyCast.
One thing I think is so important about this album is that besides being fan-generated, except for PayPal or SL transaction fees, every penny, every Linden goes straight to the artist and only to the artist. No middlemen, no distribution cut, no anything. When you look at the math behind traditional RIAA album sales, on an $18 album, the artist MAYBE gets 85 cents or so. Even with independent album sales, a $12 CD has a $4 CD Baby cost, $2 duplication cost, $1 shipping cost - which means that they come home with $5 per album.
Hopefully in the days to come, other artists will be able to copy the Virtual Hot Wings template and raise money themselves for things like tours, albums, etc.
