Which correctly realizes that in many cases, Kickstarters are not funded by thousands of fans giving $5, but a handful paying a premium.
One thing I’ve learned in releasing an ebook and doing my digital record club is that a low barrier to entry is still a barrier — unless you’re selling an app or a latte, even the tiniest bit of friction is enough to keep most people from paying. Which means a set-up where devoted fans can pay more is the most sensible, but it does raise the question, as this article does, of how much wealthy, elite civilians will take the place of wealthy, elite record labels in steering the future of music.
Perhaps the next big shift in music sales needs to come from the payments side: integrating Bandcamp with Amazon or so forth to make it one step easier. It seems silly, but it might be a game-changer.
This reminds me of an old story about Mae West. Mae was asked by a friend where she got her fur coat. Mae said “I slept with a man who had $10,000. A few years later, Mae sees her friend wearing a fur coat and asks the friend where she got the coat. The friend responded “I met 10,000 men who each had a dollar.”.
I really think sentences like this are doing irreparable harm to America’s youth (i.e., that the body is a toy to show off, as opposed to a temple; the tacit expectation that Beyonce must be Superwoman first, mom second, musician third if at all), though I suppose there are bigger feminism fish to…
They don’t call it the money maker for nothing. You didn’t expect the booty shaking videos to stop because of a baby, did you?

Buy"Imagine Whiskeytown with some pop or Big Star with a bit more twang and the result would be a little band by the name of Larabee." http://turnstyledjunkpiled.com/2011/10/16/larabee-a-slice-of-pure-alt-country-pop-goodness/ "Larabee’s EP is a terrific collection of alternative-country rock and roll dosed with a power-pop sensibilities. The guitars shimmer (“Little Liar”), the songs are super melodic, and the arrangements are well crafted (“Forever’s Ending”). There is a timelessness to the sound of these songs that makes them comfortable and refreshing at the same time." WXPN's The Key http://thekey.xpn.org/2011/03/get-to-know-alt-country-rockers-larabee/ "The Jayhawks at their catchiest." http://powerpopaholic.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-eps-larabee-cowbois-and-orion.html "Matt Maguire, driving force behind Philadelphia's Larabee, leads off his brand new EP, Expose A Little Wire, with 216 seconds of pop bliss, the jittery, harmonica driven jangle fest "Little Liar". Easily passing the Five Second Test (trademark pending) with an adrenaline-laced guitar volley spiked with a skittish harmonica jolt, "Little Liar" is a classic, attention grabbing track 1." http://teenkicks.blogspot.com/2011/04/give-larabee-216-seconds.html "Little Liar is a song that Vocal Nerd Rodeo calls an “alt-countryish gem” and I agree. As someone that grew up on country, Little Liar is one of those songs where I can’t help but tap my foot along with. Throw in the harmonica and I’m hooked."
