Radiohead Adopt My Buskernomics Idea
So many people told me I was bonkers when I introduced Buskernomics as a way of distributing my music.
But it made sense to me. Let the people decide what to pay for my music.
So I went with it. Some people throw a whole load of money at me in payment. Others throw a little bit at me. Many just download it for free.
The point is - the listener decides.
But look at this!! Radiohead of all people have just released an album true to the Buskernomics principle. According to the morning papers, Radiohead have told their fans its up to them how much they pay for the album when buying it as a digital download.
Okay, so the minimum price is 45p (the credit card charge) whereas my minimum price is zero (come on lads, go that extra half mile!)
But its a form of Buskernomics nonetheless. Well done Radiohead for joining the revolution.
At the very least I can now tell people that where I lead, Radiohead follow!!
