bandcamp just set up a subscriber service...
well, there's (almost) fifty of you. i think a couple of you have bought a few things. you tell me: would you pay for a subscription service?
my concern with this is that i plan on releasing a very large amount of music in the next 12 months, as i push through the discography. i know i'm behind schedule, but i'm on the cusp of a very fast string of releases. but the fact that i'm behind schedule is kind of what i'm getting at. if i assume 25 releases over the next year at an average of $4 a release, that's $100. now, what if i only finish ten? see, then i'm ripping people off. and, what if i get more than that done?
if i was in a more conventional circumstance where i expect to release a record and a single or two every 12-15 months then i'd see the option as worthwhile. as it is, i'm uncomfortable with the uncertainty.
i already have a "pay more" option that provides the ability to send me cash if you want to send me cash. btw, feel free to send me cash if you'd like. i don't push the point, i want you to enjoy the music, but i could certainly use it.
you tell me though: would you put money down up front for what could be hours of music? i'm not going to tell you to wait, if you'd like to do it right now :)
the more i think about this....
...would i pay this down? no. well, there's maybe an artist or two i might put it down for. but, that would be the extreme exception.
i like the idea of having the kickstarter-type option, though. i'll think about this later...
