For once I feel this is not quite a gimmick. It will be interesting to see if 
unsigned bands follow this model, and bypass the torment of getting a record 
deal (not that record companies are to blame... it's just an evolutionary 
thing... if musicians would avoid being sucked into the old way of thinking, 
then, the tools for production and communication are all now free, or cheap 
enough that you don't need an investor. An amazing situation).
