Another indie band "sticking it to the man!"
I'm talking about Common Rotation. I only found out about these guys because one of the band members, Adam Busch, is an actor who had a recurring role on Buffy. The band is making an effort to completely sidestep the traditional music industry and all it's trappings. They have been releasing their own recordings since 1999. On their last tour, dubbed the "Living Room Tour," they played acoustic house concerts, for donations only. Their new website features the "Union Maid," where they offer a free download, either an audio clip or a video clip of a new song, every day. They even wrote a protest song about Clear Channel!

Hey Dr. J, I know this is an old post, but I was surfing through Prince's website because I got his new album today (which is AWESOME btw) and he posted an interesting article link I thought might interest you:

I guess you'd have to see more of the contract to see where ClearChannel was going with their "wording", but being ClearChannel, you can probably guess it was the worst.
Okay, now this is freaking awesome, I love Prince, did I mention that? Check it out Dr. J, you're going to be proud of the man:
