In reading a Wall Street Journal article about why so many artists hate videophones (accept it already!), I came across the quiet news that Radiohead fans at a concert in Prague last year culled together a full concert HD video from 60 fans with flipcams. The band not only gave the project approval, but the soundboard recording. The result is incredible. It is Everyfan’s view, and the object of his obsession is the most exciting rock band making music today.
Obviously it is Radiohead, the first major act to sell their work as pay-what-you-wish download, offering a free concert video online. When will the mainstream get it? Profit is not the only thing that matters in art… Authenticity means much more to me.
