It’s no question Super Tuesday is one of my favorite days of the week. Â All kinds of new lovely music comes out, and I love browsing through iTunes and Easy Street to see what’s new.
Today I noticed that on iTunes, Radiohead have posted the multitracks for “Nude.” Â However, you’ve got to pay to remix them. Â It’s great that you’re putting your tunes out there for people to remix, but making them pay for them is pretty lame. Â
I’m sure that as I post this, the NIN camp is probably flipping out right about now. Â Because for some time, Trent Reznor has been offering multi-track files formatted for a variety of programs from Year Zero, Ghosts, and some from With Teeth for some time. Â Oh, and they’re free. Â And the ones from Ghosts are even licensed under Creative Commons. Â So paying for them seems to be a bit of a silly idea.
I love Radiohead and Thom Yorke, but I really haven’t been a fan of how their marketing has been unfolding as of late. Â Sorry guys. Â
