80 min CD: fill it up
There have been 80 minute CD's out there for some time now, but still the Industry has been lax to grasp the idea of filling it up. One thought is to put a few bonus tracks, like outtakes at the end of a movie - except here, it would be studio outtakes of the songs in progression. Kind of what the Beatles did in their box sets. THE FSTARS have this on the web as well [check Rehearsals page].
And why not? Often times, I've been more inspired by the fumbling of music creation than the glossy image itself. Or another idea would be to do some of the music unplugged - to showcase musicianship. I know I'd be impressed if any of these "POP" bands [read: Britney, Christina, any-EMO band, etc] would be able to transcend with just the basics, sans effects and overdubs.
There are so many possibilities. So, why put out less when there's room (literally & figuratively) for more.
