The People Must Have Something Good To Read On A Sunday
This week's most popular stories
This week brought word of major layoffs taking place at the RIAA. Some are describing the job losses at the controversial and much reviled music industry group as a
bloodbath.
Robert Smith of the
Cure criticized the concept of "
pay what you want" albums. Smith stated that he violently disagrees with the idea, which had been popularized by acts like
Radiohead and
Nine Inch Nails and is utilized by punk labels like
Quote Unquote Records. Once wonders what he'd think of
Cursive's new album, which went on sale for
$1 today, with the price to increase a dollar each day until March 10th.

Faith No More recently announced a
reunion tour.
