We love sharing our music. We also have a loyal audience that wants to support us in doing our thing. Bandcamp is a neat and tidy publishing platform for musicians. We like it because it allows a variety of download, file type, customization and pay options. Here you can choose to download shared files, or pay a minimum for higher quality files.

There was a recent article by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails that has been circulating online. In it, he continues his support of new, multi formated media for free, pay what you like, and premium price points. We tend to agree with him. It's about getting your music out there as opposed to having it locked away in an archive somewhere. What good is that?

iTunes, CDBaby, CDs, it's all good. Just adds to the mix. In six months we'll all be onto something else.

Derrick May on The BBC

Our friends over at Infinite State Machine Sent us this heads up:

Detroit techno legend Derrick May was invited to do a show for BBC Radio’s 6 Mix last Saturday evening 7/25/09. The 2hr show is in 3 parts, the first part is a Hi Tek Soul Mix, then he plays some all time favourites like Marvin Gaye, D’Angelo, Boards of Canada and exclusive 'untitled' tracks from the likes of Louis Haiman, ('Tribalesque' from his new project 'Life After People'.) Arne Weinberg, Reggie Dokes and more. The 2nd hour is an exclusive DMAY live club mix.

You can listen on the BBC site for this week, the more hits it gets the more chance there is that he’ll be asked to do it again, so spread the word!
