Watched a recent interview
with Mike Reno,
Lead Singer of Loverboy
and he addressed the Radiohead phenomenon,
artists giving away their songs for free.
About their CD’s,
Reno says that Loverboy
“almost uses these as promotional tools.”
Why?
They “have a catalog.”
The catalog, in music, is where the money is.
He does say that it is “harder to create a catalog now”
with all the choices available to listeners.
