Los Angeles' Jubilee, featuring Aaron North (NIN/The Icarus Line), Michael Shuman (Wires On Fire/Queens of the Stone Age), and Evan Weiss (Wires On Fire), have opened up a digital store on their website. The band's debut release, Rebel Hiss, is available now to download track by track. Most newsworthy, however, is that the group has adopted a subscription model. For a flat sum, you can "subscribe" to the band's entire output for the year (slated to be two more singles and a full length album), and are entitled to bonus materials and an exclusive seven inch.
In the wake of alternative distribution methods by Radiohead, Saul Williams, and NIN, this business model more closely represents seven-inch singles clubs in the 90s through various indie record labels. For more information, you can visit the band's website. Nine Inch Nails are slated to play Lollapalooza in Chicago this year, while Queens of the Stone Age will be playing Reading/Leeds.

After gaining Aaron's permission to interview him whilst he was still in NIN, i sent Aaron and Travis (and Troy) a bunch of questions for them to fill out over a month ago. After about 4 emails during during that one month, reminding them that they owed me an interview, Travis came back to me with the following message:
"you're annoying and ask SHITTY questions so no one is answering them dude. Get over it. And get over The Icarus Line being over. WE DID. Troy's not. Aaron's not and I'm not. TAKE A HINT DORK. Not replying to you anymore... in fact, if you keep emailing me or my friends or show up at any of our shows I'll have our lawyer slap a restraining order on you. So fuck off prick" here is my "interview" with aaron/travis. in all honesty, i thought the interview was complimentary, straight up, and wasn't geared towa show rest of comment | Features

If they actually stick with it and put out that much stuff this could be worth it, but then again the buddyhead site is updated about once a year now so timeliness is not their strong suit.
Also, I like Wires on Fire quite a bit.
