My Term Project

For my term project, I am going to be looking at the effect of New Media on the marketing of modern music. New media such as blogs, P2P file sharing, and Myspace have affected how record labels and artists think of new methods and plans to get their music and art out to as many people as possible. I will probably be discussing examples such as Radioheads decision to release their last album "In Rainbows" over the internet for as much as the buyer wanted to pay for it. Another example could be the recent video for Weezer's "Pork and Beans", which showcases a number of YouTube "celebrities" goofing around with the band.
