"We experience absolute respect for the Radioheads and Raconteurs and masses wHO can buoy do what they like," he said. "[The monetary standard major tag attack] is manifestly an antiquated model because of the internet. We're in contract though, so we're just now going to make the well-nigh of it and enjoy the people we get to work with."

Peter Gabriel: Online life jockey
Peter Gabriel: Online life jockey
PETER Gabriel has always roamed the sector 'tween fine art and science. "My father was an electrical engineer," the Side musician said, "and while I didn't inherit his talent for innovation, I did beak up a love of innovation, a passion for finding the next."
The hunting for next has taken Gabriel into a dizzying array of directions (his pioneering CD-ROM "Xplora1" in 1995, for representative, framed many of the Digital Old age possibilities for musicians), but right today he is most excited about an effort that narrows the number of ideas: The Filter.
"We've all sat there at the information processing system with muscle tiredness in our thumbs and faced with so much information without focus," said Gabriel, a partner in the freshly website. "Acquiring the good stuff without the heartache, that is the dreaming. And I'm not talk just about medicine, I mean everything. Non hardly a magnetic disk chouse, simply a life chicane."
TheFilter.com has a genus Beta launch today and goes public in May to unite a wide and churning grouping of good word engines. (Many data track solely music preferences; the Trickle aspires to add film to the mix in.)
Clear, many people realize that the Internet toilet create a "dictatorship of too a great deal selection," as the Filter's top dog executive officer, David Maher Oral Roberts, puts it. The Filter combines purchase, using up and browsing information (it tracks accounts on Netflix, Flixster, etc.) to make an have map. The next tier, Gabriel said, will be to meld your profile with person else's.
"If you give a friend wHO knows more about reggae than you, or there's a critic or a composer world Health Organization intrigues you, you behind mash-up your profiles. That's where we want to go. That's where a luck of people would like to go."
