The new music compagny

Once again this morning I wa slistening to music, this time something much smoother than propagandhi. Probably a lot of you know about Portishead its a known band. So I was listening to the song Pedestal and I realised there was a small part of trumpet in the song. You have to know that last summer I started playing trumpet for the fun of it. So there I was telling myself how nice to would be to learn that small part. So im at my station searching the web for this small part which I could not find evedently. So I went to their website in hope of asking them politely if they could provide me with this part. As I tough, there was no way to contact the band except for a forum and myspace, which im sure I would have never been seen in there.

Wouldn't it be nice to start a new music compgny. A compagny much more interested in helping the band make their music known, much more interested in helping the band get in touch with their fans. And much less interested in humoungus profits.

So I saw it, the new music compagny.

The music, the band, the fans, whats best!

Catchy isn't it?

So I was wondering what would prevent me to start the first ever Coop Music store.
Here is the plan.

How would this compagny work. It would be a cooperative.
Every member would have a small amout to pay to be in it.
Fans would have something like 5$ to be a member and have acces to the site
Band would have something like 100$ to 1000$ to pay to be a hosted band.
Then there on the site it would be a huge portal for all the bands and the fans.
Where you could write on the bands forum, keep in touch with the band.
With every band tour, there would be a employee following them around
making updates on the site, keeping fan apprised of whats happening.
There you could buy the band merch, their album at a fair price.
When you would buy an album, you would receive two CDs, one with
the audio track and one with the mp3s or other digitalized format
( mp3, wma, in various bit rates) For the bands many services would
be available at very competitive price. Fans surveys and stats, production
help. ( producers, mixers, freelance musician listings to help produce album)
The most important thing is that it wouldn't be done for the money, it
woul;d be done for the art, as much as for those making it as those who
just enjoy it.

Anyway if you stumble about on this blog, please leave a comment, tell me what you think?
