Someday, an incisive cultural critic will write an epic book about the extraordinary transformation of music production, distribution and promotion over the last few years. Actually, that “epic book” will likely be a blog post, and that “incisive cultural critic” will likely be a 16-year-old kid.
But regardless of who documents the changes, they are definitely taking place. In the most recent iteration, Nada Surf (whom Paste profiled earlier this year) has teamed up with MySpace on the social networking site’s Transmissions project. The band recorded seven songs live, and the videos are available on the Transmissions site, as well as exclusive interviews with the members.
MySpace users will be able to share and add the videos to their hearts’ content, and the recording session is available as an iTunes download. The revolution continues.
Nada Surf's The MySpace Transmissions tracklist:
1. Always Love
2. Whose Authority
3. I Like What You Say
4. Blizzard of ‘77
5. See These Bones
6. Happy Kid
7. Here Goes Something
