This is somewhat old news in a sense, but I haven't heard anything about
this before, so maybe it is news to other people as well.
Marillion has just released a new album, Anoraknophobia -- what's
interesting about it is that production of the album was funded entirely by
pre-sales to fans over the Internet before any tracks were recorded. This
is the first actually successful example of a street performer-like setup
that I've heard of.
http://www.lineone.net/express/00/08/20/city/m0200-d.html ran a story about
it when they were doing it.
