Free Music - Coldplay
The Long Brake declares “Free Is The New Future” and links to a free song download from the band Coldplay.
I am/was not a big big Coldplay fan. I have always thought they were creative and thoughtful but not a “fan.” However, I think The Long Brake may be correct. I hope so at least. I for one am getting exceedingly tired of the pop machine (all genres) and LOVE the idea of an artists project or piece actually speaking for itself. The best art in history stood on its own. I like the idea of busting out of the mold and not being processed through Hollywood, or Nashville for that matter, first.
This is a smart move for Coldplay and other artists who have done similar things. The pure artist (whether they are world class or not) won’t be threatened by this. There will always be the “industry” at some level but I also believe that the arts are on the comeback. I pray artists will not be throttled by the mediocrity enforced which turns the work into “product.”
Because Coldplay made this move, I am willing to investigate them further. Again, I think it is a smart move.
