Stapes Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 NEW YORK - Oh, how far we've come from the 78, the 45, even the CD. Now, minutes after your favorite band sounds its last note on stage, you can load a live recording of the concert onto a cigarette-lighter-sized hard drive hanging off your keychain.advertisement Take it home, toss the digital files onto your computer and then e-mail it to all your friends with the message, "Dude! These guys are awesome!" On May 21, new digital kiosks offering the tiny drives will be installed at Maxwell's, a small indie-rock club in Hoboken, N.J. At $10 a pop for the recording, and $20 for the reusable, keychain drive, let the downloading begin. "This is a tool that allows fans to take home and share some of the best independent music from small live venues around the country," said Daniel Stein, CEO of Dimensional Associates, a private equity firm that owns eMusic Live, which created the machines, as well as eMusic, a music file-sharing Web site, and The Orchard, a marketing firm for independent labels. For Scott Ambrose Reilly, president of eMusic Live, the idea is to let fans have a legal copy of a live show, which gives smaller artists and their labels creative control over the quality of the recording and a commercial stake in its distribution.

weezy Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Well, not for a while, our drummer is doing his Phd, so we're at his mercy. EQUINOX is gonna be insane though... Themasses, Stephen Franke and NFTT, INJECT, Iguales (from Seattle) (they remind me of a less-ambient nero)and some amazing visuals and DJ's from Deliria all in the Polynesian Tiki Rooms!
