Power to the people
Former Yahoo music boss (and one-time Grand Royal webmaster) Ian C Rogers has a new business up and running which gives musicians control over technology. The Topspin platform runs websites for musicians and gives them the technology to sell directly to the public, a la Radiohead. It's testing on a few sites at the moment and recently provided some of the backbone for the Nine Inch Nails Ghosts release.
No word on price for now, but there are some reasonably big bands involved, and Billboard are giving it a hefty does of credibility.
