An article on the DIY trend in pop music, featuring the Churchills as
the lead cautionary tale:

I'm particularly struck by this passage:
"Hart and the band booked a posh recording studio and the label,
Universal, gave them a near-limitless budget. They recorded with only
the finest guitars and ate gourmet lunches -- all charged to the album
expense account.
Three months later, they had spent $270,000 and the record was
finished. But strangely, nothing seemed to be happening."
Good lord. How can any band in the 21st century STILL be dumb enough
to rack up losses like that?
