totally OT but on that page:
(For instance, imagine artists earning just enough to pay for their health insurance here in the US. That can transform your life and career.)
I just saw that and my eyes popped out.... when you live in a civilised society where your country spends your taxes on it's people and not a big war machine then I guess you take these things for granted! :P :lol:


Otherwise, yes interesting article!

As an artist and label manager I prefer ZeroInch. It's different and... underground. That's actually what I'm looking for, a site which promotes underground music.

Universal Truth #5: Dreams

The music industry is built on two sets of dreams:

1. The dreams of the fans about the stars.

2. The dreams of musicians to be stars.
