There are now many musicians who connect with their fan base and successfully do what Bassnectar does.
Check out Amanda Palmer http://www.amandapalmer.net/
or Kim Boekbinder http://music.kimboekbinder.com/album/such-great-heights who also uses Kickstarter to pre-fund tours.
You probably don't like the music of John Lennon, David Bowie or even Mozart. You may well enjoy what is played in elevators (I almost put 'lifts' in there but you probably wouldn't understand!) or shopping malls.
Some of us appreciate moving tunes, original lyrics and music - and Amanda Palmer gives us that breath of fresh air.
Listen to her cd 4 or 5 times and be surprised at the beauty and comment in her music. The solo CD is one of the best collections of songs I've ever heard - and I've heard lots; even big name artists struggle to make anything close to say a 'Sergeant Pepper' - but AP does it here. She is also an amazing live entertainer.

Happy Endings beat me to it! This whole issue could be avoided if sex workers were legalised and licenced
