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
