Just wanted to thank the readers of Evolvor for your paitence with us over the past week and a half - we’ve been moving and well, things got a little crazy. With summer finally here, we are excited as hell to bring several awesome projects to you - stay tuned so you don’t miss out!

Over the weekend I caught up on my blogroll and found a great post by Fred “AC” about the looming free music business model.

To sum it up, the argument is that in the very near future, artists will give away their music for free in return for selling advertising on their websites, where their music will be streaming and many people will visit to hear their works. My thoughts? Fred is dead-on, but it will be years before everyone embraces and understand how it works.

If I were to promote a band today, I’d get in on the concept now, and give away some free tracks on my site in addition to selling a traditional album. I think this will be the progression of the free model - doing it a little at a time so that everyone (including the music industry) can grasp it.
