Eagles Follow Radiohead

Another imageless post, but via Atrios check it out: The Eagles are also disintermediating record labels.

Building on early work by Prince, and several upstart indie successes, it looks like more and more established acts are taking this route. Look for a new kind of helper company to emerge that can do online distribution, fan-club stuff, and booking for tours.

I think it's not as big of a sell for The Eagles to have the downloading thing since the bulk of their fans are not as prone to do downloading as the younger generation. But the fact that the big rockers are doing this is VERY encouraging for the lesser-known ones.
