I know Radiohead is not your typical band, but much like a few other artists out there, they are experimenting with other models that might in the future help new and struggling bands. One of my favorites, Repeater from Long beach, http://myspace.com/repeaterband , just got picked up by Ross Robinson, (who produced a Cure album, coincidentally), and they are trying their best to avoid the old system and somehow take advantage of new marketing strategies. Good luck to anyone who doesn’t try to get Signed to a big lumbering giant.
