“A new way to distribute money to artists”

I’ve been getting more and more emails about “innovative” start-ups promising new ways to pay bands: $1 a month subscriptions, charity methods, t-shirts, etc., but all of these are really creating new ways for middle men to profit off the backs of artists. (Not that journalists don’t, but we’re not taking a direct cut.)

You want to create a new way to distribute money to artists? Buy their albums.

   It’s not that money, like the future, is here but poorly distributed; it’s that the future is here,
