Oh crimony!
Gimme a frickin' break.
So what, you can't make a major label record and compete with N'Sync.
Jeez, if that's a criteria for making music then the whole power pop,
alt. country, garage and emo scenes should just shut themselves down
and everybody should just concentrate on their careers at Kinko's.
Just because Owsley's been at the major label level, it doesn't mean
he can only work with mega-budgets and tour support. Newsflash, Owsley
and his ilk will never sell more than a few thousand records... ever.
So what! Does that mean he should just stop.
Will, give your masters to a small label like Not Lame or Arena Rock
and get yerself some cool guys, an Econoline and get out on the road.
Blaming everything on MP3 file swapping is ridiculous.
I find it totally silly that people can't make records for under five
figures. When I hear about what labels spend on high profile acts it
makes me sick to my stomach.
Gimme $5000 and a good band and I can make you a frickin' GREAT master
with Mitch Easter or Wes Lachot, no less.
Get real, go indy. Enjoy your life.
