Read my best 2008 blog posts and essays on your iPhone

Picture 22 I have blogged about this before, but here's a quick reminder that you can now read my best 2008 blog posts and essays on your iPhone, online or offline.  Just get the great Instapaper reading app (there's a free one, and a premium one which I very much recommend), register with Instapaper and add this page to your 'read later' list. Then, sync your iphone to download the content so that you can read offline. Great stuff! Instapaper reduced my printing costs by 90% already. If you want to download the PDF, instead, please go to my Free Content page.

Bands and artists, their managers, agents or labels and even publishers can select any combination of audio, video, pictures, texts, news feeds, games, twitter updates and social media 'rivers' to update the bands fans at any time, anywhere in the world. My hunch is that most artists will probably have basic free versions available, at first, followed by premium apps that offer considerably more value and will cost from a few extra dollars all the way up to even $50 per user - and most importantly, lots of up-selling will be fueled through these apps.
