David Byrne and Thom Yorke on the Real Value of Music
Wired has a nice article with dialog between David Byrne and Thom Yorke and their opinions on the music industry, discussing the approach and success of In Rainbows.
In the first month, about a million fans downloaded In Rainbows. Roughly 40 percent of them paid for it, at an average of $6 each. Yorke says, “In terms of digital income, we’ve made more money out of this record than out of all the other Radiohead albums put together, forever — in terms of anything on the Net.”
