I think that an EP with a few good songs, put out every couple of months and distributed digitally (or via limited physical release) would work fine for some bands.
Then, once every 1-2 years, release a retail CD compilation, ala Stereolab.

Posted by TobintheGnome]]> Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:04:49 -0500 Nashville Scene Will your band sell any of said singles if you're not as in-demand as, you know, the biggest band in the world (debatably)?
No. This only works because it is Radiohead and there's no way they will abandon the album format for long.

Yeah, no shit. It says that in the quote.
Posted by d. patrick]]> Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:18:50 -0500 Nashville Scene we're two singles deep into our digital only single-a-month campaign, and sales are solid. and they're only for sale at our website (thepeopleschurchofthearmedforces.com) and at shows, so it's a good sign people are ready for the return of the singles format.
besides, people's attention spans are, like, 3 minutes anyway...why waste another eleven songs on somebody's ADD?
