“This NYC frost is getting ridiculous. As a way to deal with the hibernation we whipped up this cover of The Cure ‘Grinding Halt’.’ – That’s the email we received from The Death Set’s Johnny Siera regarding his band’s new cover song. Take a listen yourself, maybe the frantic gyrating it will induce will help ward off the cold.

The blog entry references last week’s controversial comments.
Yikes! Yesterday’s Times quote is as follows: *The Radiohead experiment of paying what you want: I disagreed violently with that. You can’t allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don’t consider what you do to have any value at all, and that’s nonsense. If I put a value on my music and no one’s prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan, it can’t work.*
