Warner Music 3-song ‘clusters’
p2p news / p2pnet: "Cordless Recordings is a bet that relatively inexpensive Internet distribution and marketing may give labels a cost-effective way to nurture bands over time, instead of spending as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars to record and market a first album.
"It’s also an experiment with patience. The idea is to release short three-song clusters online every few months over the course of nearly two years, allowing musicians to grow artistically and build an audience, an approach that differs radically from betting everything on a single 12-song album."
So says CNET News on Organized Music member Warner Music’s current effort to use the Net to cash in on you.
Cordless is, "the first all-digital music label operated by a major record company, says the story.
It’ll be launching Thursday online and on korporate digital music ’services’ and, "Music from the label’s first six bands is being sold only online for now, in three-song ‘clusters’ instead of full albums," says CNET. "Instead of big tours, the bands will be promoted on blogs and sites like MySpace."
Can you say Digital Restrictions Management (DRM)?

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local political representatives. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance.

Big music is finally catching up with Spoken X Digital Media Group. They
did’nt quite follow Literati X flow: (34) clusters of dramatico works were
released indefinitely on the internet and we were one of the first in the
industry to befriend blog-masters who would ultimately help us influence
the big four labels in their decision making of how to reign God like inside
the streaming realm of cyberspace. November 09 was Literati’s birthdate
–Born in 1964 respectively in the year of the Dragon.And also big 50 Cent’s movie debut “Get Rich or Die Trying” I heard that the movie cost
40 million to make and he flopped coming out the gate. I hope the
brother gains some momentum down the midway stretch. He’s a talented
rap artist with lots of competition. For Phantom X, its not about the
gangster–its about the {psycho-serial-vocalist} and the sickness that
we are afflicted with on our international stage of black tragedy. . .
