The Price of Music

Occasionally when we take a break from adding bulletproofing to our trusty Seattlest offices on the off-chance 50 Cent stops by for an interview, we amuse ourselves with the Clear Channel College Entertainment site. What is the Clear Channel College Entertainment site, you ask. Well frankly it's one of the more entertaining and revealing sites on the internet. Pause for you to be shocked that Clear Channel can actually provide some entertaining content.

Let's say that you're the party planner at your local university looking to spice up your event with some live music. This site will tell you how much it will cost to get your favorite band to play.

Really big Ice Cube fan? Well, it'll only cost you 30k to hear him talk about the good days when he did not have to use his AK-47.

Blur? 35-50k

Want to hear Liz Phair play songs from her non-horrible albums? 35k

Ever wondered what Ani DiFranco paired with Andrew W.K. would sound like. Well if you are feeling really rich, you can create your own mash-ups.

Personally, we are pleased that jazz legend Dave Brubeck still commands a price of 20k, but we are a little disturbed to find that he is only worth a 1/5 a Huey Lewis (sans the News).

We are also disappointed to find former Husker Du frontman Bob Mould is only worth half a Bob Saget.

This site is almost as addictive as eBay and you don't have the risk of having a vintage Tiki doll show up on your doorstep.

We wonder if the Insane Clown Posse will lower their normal rate of 20k to play at our cousin's Bat Mitzvah.
