Star considers giving future music away free

Courtney Love is considering giving future music releases of hers away free, Radiohead-style.

The singer/guitarist praised Radiohead’s recent decision to let fans choose how much to pay for their latest album, ‘In Rainbows’, on her MySpace blog.

“The kamikaze pilot in me wants to do the same damn thing,” she writes. “I’m grateful for Radiohead for making the first move. I’d do it differently. That’s why b-sides are no longer b-sides, but have to be a-sides, to an extent.

“I love risk, and most everything I’ve ever done well has been because everyone said I was crazy to do it. That’s why words like ‘risk management’ and ‘time management’ are resonating with me now.”
