Long live Indie/punk rock. Steve Albini lays it out in the most plain and vulgar terms: http://www.arancidamoeba.com/mrr/problemwithmusic.html Read about the "NEW PAYOLA". Independent promoters are the only way to get mainstream airplay (that's the terrible truth). Canadian bands that have employed Independent promoters are Matt Good and MOIST. This is why you never hear NoMeansNo on the radio: http://news.mysanantonio.com/story.cfm?xla=saen&xlb=180&xlc=977795 This writer makes some interesting arguments that I don't always agree with but newbies will have their eyes opened: http://www.radio-media.com/song-album/articles/main.html - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 4:29pm | ||

| Mica User Info... | I think that those articles should encourage you to seek alternate routes - rather than quitting playing. Check this article out: http://www.futureofmusic.org/articles/spellmanmusicianbiz.cfm - Fri, 19 Sep 2003 6:09pm | ||
