Digby is hilarious on Twitter.

He clearly has no idea of how anything works.

Some highlights from the last week...

"When I listen to a new band I hear 2 things: The drummer & The vibe.Vibe is energy, confidence, swagger."

The day Portnoy left Dream Theater he said this:
"I've never listened to DREAM THEATER so have no idea what all the fuss is about..."

He runs a metal record label and has never listened to Dream Theater.

EFF THAT A-HOLE.

It's like this was meant to be some big fight back on big record labels but they haven't proved a thing with this. They just copied what HOD did but it didn't work as well.

So has this experiment worked? The album has sold almost exactly the same number (7,653) of CDs to date as their previous album, Citizen Brain (7,665). "Not a spectacular result, but an interesting one," says Byrne.

"We expected a big increase," says Digby Pearson, founder of Earache. "Didn't happen. Our reading of the situation is the free album – downloaded over 40,000 times – undoubtedly helped the band's 'profile' with casual fans."

The pic doesn't include the 40,000 downloads we had to delete, Mediafire, last FM or P2P networking.

Overall we've sold about 700 CD's and 300 of the first one, we gave 600 away though so that balances out!

They're some brilliant figures there, I must say.

Phil has sent an 'open letter' to U2's manager right. When he himself has nothing he can prove from it all. And argues a point of something that may not work. For a band of say Gama Bombs level they should continue and not have this whole "Hey look it's free" faff about it. Because from what I can gather the people who are going to buy the CD will buy it, those who download it will download it. They could have carried on without all the extra marketing they did like the CD free with Terrorizer and cut back on spending.

For a band like HOD it has worked wonders. Because you gained some fans really fast. And now you've done shit loads and don't have to prove anything to any one.

But then again it's down to the music too. Because there's loads of bands doing the free download stuff and nobody gives a shit about it.

Yeah, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. If you want music for free or for cash, nothing will influence or change what you want or how you want it, even if it's illegal!
