that's a conern brought up in some new newsletter by the dude who runs discmakers. Some artists don't tour. Some artists don't even make music anymore! The idea that record labels only means of survival is selling music at shows is a depressing one.

The idea that record labels only means of survival is selling music at shows is a depressing one.

I know a certain artist on a certain very famous label that was the largest single distributor of their records, selling 1200 of them for the famous label in question. This particular artist was buying them for $8 each too, so the label was making a huge profit!

I find that very depressing too...

Is anyone still going to be reading this? (Is this thing on?) Is there a way to go "nu" on this thread?

super lame if the artist has to pay wholesale for their own CDs! Maybe that's how it's always done? What do I know.

i've seen that happen quite a bit with local bands, esp those on real or fake-indie major labels
