Some Bands Still Refuse Music Downloads

Zelbinian writes "Wired News reports there are a number of artists, ranging from The Beatles to Radiohead, that are still holding out on iTunes. Some feel that per-track downloads hurt the artistic integrity of albums as a whole; for others it's simply a matter of negotiation troubles. From the article: 'Since record companies have realized the popularity of iTunes and other sites, many reworked contracts to give artists less money per download. Andrews said while record companies once offered artists about 30 cents for each song sold, now musicians are earning less than a dime.'"

    Well i knew the foot and i knew the painting, wasn't aware that that was where terry swiped the foot from. I've always thought that was a great example of how bad bronzino's basic composition was . just look at the curve in cupids back, it looks like a poor blend of two different poses, one standing, and one bending behind. i assume he changed the composition halfway through, either to have the legs extending out to the left, or i suspect more likely to get the breast groping in.

    After all, two seconds of Michael Bolton is just about enough.
    I admit it, I'm a Michael Bolton fan! I celebrate the guy's entire collection! For my money it doesn't get any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman"!
