Music

here's some thoughts on james blake's vault.fm 

perhaps the issue is hype, because everybody was suddenly looking to james blake to solve all of music's issues lol 

at best it's a more contained version of patreon, somewhere to throw old unfinished demos and charge people $5 bucks/mo for it.

I like James Blake, but he’s no Amanda Palmer

I cannot justify paying $5 a month to access a musician's demos. If that musician publishes a couple of songs a month then it's reasonable, but a lot of artists don't have that kind of output. They might publish 2-3 songs a quarter. If a song was sold at $1-3 per tune then I can easily see my self buying those songs.
