Another one of our inspirations
June 15th, 2007
Jonathan Coulton is a singer-songwriter who has more or less blown up in the past couple years, without a record label, and selling music mostly online and mostly digital. His story was a big inspiration for us getting things started here. He had a big NY Times article recently that has pushed him further into the spotlight.
Here’s his blog entry about “how he did it”: Jonathan Coulton
Some of his ideas that we borrowed/stole/took inspiration from: blog format for a label/band site, using PayLoadz.com for mp3 purchasing, free high-quality flash streaming songs, and his general attitude towards getting his music out there. He wants people to share his music. That’s why we do it. Sure, money is great, but we want people to hear what we’ve put our energies into.
Thanks Jonathan!
