- chiliwilli, on 04/01/2009, -1/+11I can picture the fat cat executive meeting that took place at EMI
marketing rep : "Record sales are plummeting ! We need to attract the youth ! There's only one way. We need a BLOG"
exec: "What is this... blog?" - inactive, on 04/01/2009, -0/+9yes
- antoniuk, on 04/01/2009, -2/+7I am counting the minutes until the site gets hacked
1 minute ah ah ah ahhhh - inactive, on 04/01/2009, -0/+5"And it's not dry, blatantly commercial content, either."
Hopefully that means they won't be pushing a bunch of "downloading music makes baby jesus cry and kills your mother" crap. - inactive, on 04/01/2009, -1/+5Did you hear that? It's the sound of crickets. About the only activity that will be going on at this blog.
- ArthurSucks, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4The site is not littered with advertisements and flash. This seems to be a step in the right direction for the music industry. There needs to be a better dialogue between the industry and it's potential customers. This type of thing has worked for independent artists for years.
- seantubridy, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3Well, their logo uses the Family Ties font. So, you know, they've got that going for them.

Independent Music FTW! - cyrusuncc, on 04/01/2009, -1/+3too little, too late...
- burningplants, on 04/01/2009, -0/+1Who cares? Major labels have been cheating artist dry for YEARS.
Typically, a major label can break even on an album after 30,000 copies are sold... however, the artist wont see a penny in royalties until they pay off the recoupable debt the labels charge them. That usually ends up being somewhere after 300,000 units are sold. Does that seem fair? Ever since labels began quarterly reporting, they've also shifted their focus from helping an artist develop and grow to mass production, cookie-cutter, ***** excuses for music.
The music industry is changing, and major labels are going to disappear. Good-*****-riddance. - BalancingAct, on 04/01/2009, -0/+1Of course this isn't an April Fool
- martiniman, on 05/29/2009, -0/+0support the indie scene guys have a listen to the track and let your freinds know if it is any good. http://1or8faction.com/recordings/monkey-king-rele ...
- tymez, on 04/01/2009, -3/+2All the more reason to use BitTorrent
- judicar, on 04/01/2009, -4/+2Right, but how much traction can you get from a 3 inch piece of wool.
- spiritamx79, on 04/01/2009, -10/+1Am I the only dumbass that thought blog read 'bong'?
