previously on the e-list…
for all those music fans out there i wanted to share something that kristin hersh [50 footwave & throwing muses] has started up. it's called CASH music and instead of explaining it myself, i thought it would be best to share the actual words written by her:
Welcome to the sparkly-new CASH Music.
As many of you may already know, CASH is an acronym -- it stands for the Coalition of Artists & Stake Holders. The name indicates just what we're all hoping to build here -- a coalition through which we blur the line that's traditionally stood between creators of content and the consumers of that content.
We're all stake holders here. We all stand to gain from a productive relationship. Maybe it will help to think of this relationship as a conversation. For instance, I start the conversation by writing and recording a song every month, like the one I'm posting here this month, "Slippershell." You respond by listening & sharing "Slippershell" with others.
Sharing is encouraged, I license my work through Creative Commons. If you're unfamiliar with Creative Commons, do yourself a favor and check out the licenses I use. They're in plain English and provide better, more realistic and rational copyright protection.

i think its great that there are actually musicians out there who are all about the music and not the fame and the money. you can tell that music is her soul and without she'd be lost. by supporting these kinds of organizations one actually feels like they are supporting the artist directly and not the major labels. i listened to the new release this morning and i must say its definitely up to kh standards. so in keeping what the notion that they set forth i felt i should help spread the word and share the information here. you can download the single by clicking here.
if you check out the site be sure to read some of her other posts, especially the one about betty hutton. she is definitely an amazing writer.
stay gold & be well…
