About the Single of the Moment

There’s a lot of nattering about “The Future of Music” but what people are really talking about is “The Future of the Music Business”, and as a music fan and music maker I don’t really care how or if Sony, Time Warner, Rupert Murdoch or Apple will be able to make millions of dollars off of other people’s creativity in the next few years- I’m interested in hearing the next song or band that will make my day. The future of music is what it has always been: the future of music is musicians.

Most of the sounds I’ve loved over the past 20+ years have required some extra effort to find- commercial radio, chain stores and major labels rarely provided anything of interest; it was word of mouth channelled through friends, fanzines, college radio, independent record labels and independent record stores that gave me what I wanted. Now with the web, word of mouth is hyperlinked- it’s easier than ever to find music that is in line with your specific tastes and there’s no reason to spend any time or money supporting the major media companies’ DRM infested business model that benefits neither the creator nor the consumer.

So we’re going to try out an alternative way of doing things this year: The Single of the Moment. We’ve adopted the name of a series of 7″ singles we put out in the early nineties but things are a bit different this time around. Once a month a new song featuring some or all of Poster Children will be posted on the Twelve Inch Records site. You may freely download, listen to and distribute the song, all we ask is that if you really like it, consider dropping a dollar in “the hat”

Thanks!
Rick
