Quote of the Day
Even when you're dead, the chains don't come off. That's why I'm so fond of the indie/DIY/Open Source movement, in all its low budget, cacaphonous, disorganized, multifaceted glory. Local band I used to do management/booking/road work for, years back, spent far too much time trying to get label attention. If we'd just put the stuff out ourselves, we'd have saved a lot of hassle and time, and probably made more money than we'd have ever squeezed out of any label. Still kicking myself over that, especially now that the production and distribution tools are so damn easy to get and use.
Most [music] labels are a honeytrap, only without the hot sex from a Russian spy chick. Just the unlubed prisonsex.
