Writeup: "ThrowingMusic is happy to announce an entirely new musical endeavor. We're calling it the Coalition of Artists & Stake Holders, or the "CASH Music Project". CASH Music represents a new music business model which we hope you'll not only support but also help us shape, by sharing with us your thoughts, suggestions & opinions. CASH Music is a new kind of offering from Kristin. There will be lots of great new content, including a brand-new studio recording posted to Kristin's blog every month - free of charge. the first track in this series is called "Slippershell". We're committed to not holding music hostage, the music will be free. At the CASH Music site you have the opportunity to subscribe to Kristins career  past, present and future. You are free to use the music as you please, to create different mixes or maybe be inspired to create art based on the music. The business of music clearly needs an overhaul. We're going to present our ideas - and with your help, we'll endeavor to create a sustainable, fair-trade music business model. This will be a strictly independent and self-sustaining venture -- for better or for worse. No record label, no distributor, no middle-man -- just Kristin, the songs and you. We're taking the leap and can't wait to see what all of us together, as a small but enthusiastic community of 'stake-holders' can do for ourselves. Thank you for reading this far!" It certainly doesn't hurt that the first track is great. It's very much in the vein of her last album (as opposed to her quieter, acoustic ones.) - -Sarah ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #349 ***************************
