Frank Black: “Record Companies, Schmecord Companies”
According to this article, the Pixies are fed up with the music oligopoly (imagine that) and will be foregoing big record companies in favor of alternative revenue streams — sales of concert CDs, concert tickets, scoring and sync rights, and digital downloads.
It seems likely this is where big chunks of the music world is heading — showing, once again, that the Pixies are well ahead of their time.

I seem to remember Pearl Jam attempting a similar stunt by dumping EVERY SINGLE CONCERT they performed on the Vitology tour on the market as a bootleg CD, complete with cardboard packaging. Yeah, they circumvented a lot of the usual distribution goliaths, but how many versions of “Yellow Ledbetter” can any of us be expected to stomach?
