Taking a page out of the Thom Yorke playbook, Coldplay released "Violet Hill," the first single off their soon-to-be-released album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, for free on their website this past Tuesday. The song rocks, but that seems a given. What really rocks is having a band considered amongst the biggest in the world (and the cornerstone for the entire EMI label) decide to give away a single for free a full week before the song's official release. The song was downloaded by over 600,000 people in its first 24 hours online, but that's nothing in comparison to the number of appreciative fans who will go out and purchase their LP when it drops in early June. Sometimes good will and good business really do go hand in hand.
