Yup, Buzzgrinder shirts. Just $10 (+$5 shipping). ORDER HERE.
It’s common knowledge that Microsoft is kissing the rear of Universal and other majors by giving them $1 for each Zune sold. Very generous, eh?
Well, they just got a little more generous. And this time, it doesn’t involve one monolithic company pandering to other monolithic companies. Microsoft is going to start paying some indie labels.
I wonder if it’s because Tony Brummel yelled at Bill Gates. We all remember how well that worked out for him when he did it to Steve Jobs.

I think MS is realizing the assets an indie label has, seeing as they have more of an agile business model (if you can call it a business model) and reaches a demo that otherwise wouldn’t care ever that much about them. If MS does this right both can profit well from this and provide better services.
