Today’s music business is a trippy thing. The way things have always been done no longer seem to be working. Just like anything, you either adjust or be adjusted. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the 1,000 true fans approach. I think it should be the goal of any emerging artist. I told Derek from London Calling last week that I only had one real regret from my time with that band- It’s that I was far more focused on getting a record deal than creating great music.
If you are passionate about music, I understand that. As much as I’ve tried, I can’t shake the desire to create and perform myself.
I/you just gotta’ do it.
If you wanna’ just make a lot of money, you are in the wrong business…go build an iPhone app…that’ll make your odds much, much higher.
Broke* – This movie trailer is a worthy watch. I haven’t seen the film yet but the fact that Seth Godin is first to speak..it has set the tone for me as a “must see”!
Dream on dreamers!
