Did you read the "Jimmy Iovine rant" which was a narrative on the state of the music biz for small acts, about 8 years ago?

OK, uhmm... do you have any written work where you're getting income from the publishing? TV, film, commercials?

Bruce - I've been working for other people for 10 years, as a sideman, an engineer, indie producer, blah blah blah. I decided it was time to do my own record, and see what it was like to be on the other side of the table. Because I'm a narcissistic media whore, I thought it would be fun to put up some cameras and show the whole process to anyone who wants to login and watch. That's what 30dropframe.com is all about.

UT - He's right on the money ... in 1993. The industry has changed pretty radically along the way, including the sophistication of artists. They've done the math, they know much the numbers don't favor them. The major labels are in a position now where their biggest worries is no longer that a hot artist will sign with another major instead of them, its that the artist will stay indie and make twice as much money. The Big 4 don't have a monopoly on signing artists anymore. Indie is a financially viable route.

So, the contracts are changing, slowly. He's still right on alot of the principles, the numbers are obviously different.

And yeah, I have some things I've done that are "mailbox money". I have a few songs on some records that did pretty well, two national commercials, one song buried on a Disney movie soundtrack, and about a dozen records for indie artists that are still selling. It doesn't add up to six figures, but it adds up to enough of a steady income base that I can be a little choosy about the projects I want to take. Like, I don't have to play weddings anymore.

I am so pleased to have found a forum with some really funny and smart people.

I added the some of you that immediatly attracted my attenton to my buddy list but I swear I could add about half of you all.

It was hard to pick one out of my list since I havn't gotten to get to know anyone yet but I had to go with the cowgirl since that is what I am as well.

The Albini speech reminds me of Courtney Loves speech at the Digital Hollywood Conference.

This is why, for all of her flaws, I still consider Courtney f***able.
