When People Are Absurdly Tall,

Whenever There's Active Promotion On The Part Of Somebody Else, Whenever I See Somebody All Dolled Up For A Fancy Photograph And Someone's Handing Out Flyers Or Whenever There's Active Promotion For Something Like That, As An Imposition On My Day, I Hate All Those People And I Want Them To Fail. I Have A Visceral Reaction To Advertising And Promotion. There's Just Something About Salesmanship That Grates On Me On A Very Base Level And I React Very Negatively Towards It. I Want Those People To Suffer And I Want Their Enterprises To Fail.

I Have No Problem With Bands Using Participant Financing Schemes Like Kickstarter And Such. I've Said Many Times That I Think They're Part Of The New Way Bands And Their Audience Interact And They Can Be A Fantastic Resource, Enabling Bands To Do Things Essentially In Cooperation With Their Audience. It's Pretty Amazing, Actually.

Make No Mistake About It: Once A Band Has Signed A Letter Of Intent, They Will Either Eventually Sign A Contract That Suits The Label Or They Will Be Destroyed

There Won't Ever Be A Mass-market Record Industry Again, And That's Fine With Me Because That Industry Didn't Operate For The Benefit Of The Musicians Or The Audience, The Only Classes Of People I Care About.

By Now All Rock Bands Are Wise Enough To Be Suspicious Of Music Industry Scum
