Bandwagonesque: Open source bands, flavor of the moment or full on revolution?

Some of the music industry’s biggest names are considering offering their music free online following the success of the experiment by the band Radiohead to let fans download their new album without charge.

The band’s website topped the chart of music websites with an 11-fold increase in internet hits after the announcement, according to internet monitoring agency HitWise.

Now Jamiroquai and Oasis, two major names that are not contracted to a record labels, are rumoured to be considering following Radiohead by offering work for free, according to industry sources.

(Note from Adam: And why exactly would I pay for an Oasis or Jamiroquai album anyway? :) )
