Psst! Wanna buy a band?

Remember Rednex of ‘Cottoneye Joe’ fame? You can buy them from the Pop Band For Sale site. The cheesiness of the band aside, it’s interesting to show how a lot of these sample-based bands work in that it is actually feasible to buy a band since the performers are merely paid employees – it seems that the one thing you don’t get for your money is the song-writing skills (skills being used very loosely in this instance) although there is a record ready to be released and a record deal to go with it.
