The latest “concept” from the big record bosses to keep their bands online  supporters happy, Fan Mail. Not like your average “Pants in the Post” type of package, but more along the lines of a personal e-mail address @ your-most-favourite-band-in-the-WHOLE-world.com

Sign up now [for your name here]@depechemodemail.com, or even [for your sisters here]@garbagemail.com for your free official e-mail account. What’s the catch? You have the joyous experience of been kept up to date with all the latest news, updates, and offers from the band to the bottom of each e-mail the person sends.

The offer is a joint venture between Electric Artists and OneSoft [idea that we’ll repackage and sell to as many people as possible], who plan to soon launch similar services for Public Enemy, Busta Rhymes and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
