Another example of how badly bands these days will milk a hit.
Lets see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs got on the map with the song “Maps” which I loved and that got popular through
Rockband, the video game
So they got some nationwide press, some swanky Armani makeovers. Put on their sex faces for Spin magazine and Karen O. rocks the Moe Stooges hairdo like no broad can.
So do you think I’m announcing a new release?
Yeah I am, too bad its not music but instead a live performance video from a sold out show…….dated December 1, 2009. Available on iTunes now.. hurry!!
I don’t know about you but its so glaringly obvious that recording is no longer the focus of bands.
Their faces are. On t-shirts on magz on blogs (ahem) on videos on dvds on USB drives on tote bags on bracelets on. and on on pigeons on anything.
What is the average life span of a band that has 3 albums but 20 twitter accounts?
“It’s Blitz’ came out in February 2009, now you’re selling me your concert footage, from 7months ago?
Youre being robbed.
