It might be time to start a Kickstarter for Kanye West. That's the call from Deadmau5 (aka music producer and DJ Joel Thomas Zimmerman) after he spotted what looked like Kanye's attempt to download music editing software from online file-sharing site The Pirate Bay.

what I find amusing is how the media panicked about it

Our president could have been assassinated yesterday and the Foo breakup would have been bigger news

Yesterday Was Most Important Single Day For Direct To Fan Music Since Launches Of CDBaby, Tunecore

I've written about the effects and promise of the digital revolution on musicians and the music industry for almost a decade. But yesterday, separate announcements from Pandora, PledgeMusic and Bandsintown combined to make it the most memorable day in independent music since the launches of CD Baby and Tunecore.

Everything changed for indie musicians the day that Derek Sivers launched CDBaby and empowered them to easily sell music on the web. A similar seismic shift happened when Tunecore launched, eliminating the gatekeepers and enabling quick, easy and affordable digital distribution for any artist on digital music services around the world.

Yesterday felt that important. All on one day:

? Pandora announced AMPcast, a mobile app that allows artists to send free audio messages to their fans among Pandora's 80 million active listeners as they listen. (more)

? Bandsintown added the ability for artists to send free custom messages to their fans amoung the 23 million concertgoers who use the Bandsintown app (more)

? PledgeMusic, already a go-to fan monetization tool for tens of thousands of artists and labels,  acquired Noisetrade, the single most effective fan acquisition tool I've ever tested, and Set.fm, a promising startup that enables easy recording and instant monetization of live shows.

WWWOOOOoooooooooooooozzzzzz....

This Washington Post writer doesn't know who PJ Harvey or Fugazi are.

And that's okay. He doesn't claim to have any extended or special knowledge about music of any kind.

Huh. When I was  growing up, most of the adults in my life either worked or volunteered at the Community of Hope as it was just getting off the ground.

Will someone please explain the appeal of Kanye West? I don't get it.
