What gives art it's value?

 So to kick off the new bandcamp page I thought I would allow for both "Evil" and "Into Nothing" to be FREE downloads!  You pick the price you want to pay...if you want it free all you will have to do is key in your email so I can have you on that list there and inform you when there is new music available or if you are feeling generous you can name your price, whatever you want, whatever you think the song is worth to you and it goes through paypal or any credit card.  So say you want to download "Into Nothing" but you really want to show support for Shaolin Temple of BooM and you decide to pay....$5 for the song...that $5 goes a long way to paying for more music.  In a way this concept brings music back to being art.  What gives art it's value?  The value in my opinion is determined by how much you want it.  The other benefit of www.shaolintempleofboom.bandcamp.com is that you can CHOOSE what format you want the songs in, you can get it in a higher quality then even itunes as an mp3 or apple lossless or flac...the CHOICE is yours!


Here is the link for "Into Nothing" http://shaolintempleofboom.bandcamp.com/track/into-nothing and "Evil" http://shaolintempleofboom.bandcamp.com/track/evil


Unfortunately, I will never offer any of the new tracks for free (Unless sponsored) as I have to make a living haha! Hey we all gotta make money some how right? BUT I am offering "After the Fall" and "Relentless Fixation" for just 50 cents!  The minumum is 50 cents but you can name the price! Say you really love "After the Fall" and think that song is worth $100 dollars to you.... well.....SHAOLIN TEMPLE OF BOOM will love you for a million years if that were the case but say you wanted to give $100 for "After the Fall" because you know that whatever your pay for will help me create more music....then by all means....DO SO!  But if all you can afford is 50 cents that is fine too!  It's better then getting it free without a sponsor because people who do that are actually hurting Shaolin Temple of BooM's ability to create more music.  Remember SToB is independent, no record label, no management....the only people that care about Shaolin Temple of BooM is YOU GUYS.


Here is the link for "After the Fall" http://shaolintempleofboom.bandcamp.com/track/after-the-fall and here is "Relentless Fixation" http://shaolintempleofboom.bandcamp.com/track/relentless-fixation and of course here is "I would destroy" http://shaolintempleofboom.bandcamp.com/track/i-would-destroy-2


By the way in case you missed it here is the music video for "I would destroy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GGX0yd6m24


Hope you guys are good!  And a new track should be premiering very soon.
