Coldplay’s ‘LeftRightLeftRightLeft‘ album gave me a good excuse to play ‘Viva La Vida’ – a track that normally wouldn’t make it on my show.

The fact that this album is available for free download on the artist website is a great example of a well known artists wanting to ‘own’ the relationship with fans of their recorded music. No doubt that all musicians have some direct relationship with their fans but the recorded music part of that would normally be controlled by a record label.
