All I can say to you young uns' is that someday the cool and hip music you are now listening to will be on classic rock radio stations and VH1 Classic.
And you'll gauzily look back on "the day" in sepia tones. And your kids will look at you and say "what a fossil".
It's interesting being on the sunny side of 50. You are no longer marketed to. What you buy and what you do makes no difference to advertisers. They are after that 18-35 market.

A lot of little labels are being sucked in by the bigs. One of my friends runs Beggars Banquet Records; he used to be part of Matador, but now the Beggars Group has a bunch of little labels. it's a separate entity but they're all still part of Matador. Sub Pop is considered a major label. Sony has a lot of smaller labels I think.Originally Posted by Dracodave
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
i think Alice Cooper summed it up well in an interview with Metal Edge a couple years back. basically he said that back when he first started, the record label VIPs would actually hang out with you in the studio, want to know what was going on, and just generally be excited about the entire process. then about 1975 that started to change, and by the time of making From the Inside the old line of VIPs were gone. the label was no longer about making music and getting some cash while at it, they were now about making money and the music didn't matter as long as it could be marketed.

yes, this really is how we make our living.
Maybe we've just reached the point where all the good music has been written. I mean, I'd be fine if I were just left with Bach, Mozart, Ellington, Copeland.
And 50 Cent.
I'm no Philistine.

i don't buy that for a second. the new Dream Theater, Jon Oliva's Pain, and Dimmu Borgir CDs prove that.

I can't wait for the 2015 edition of "VH1's Classic Albums: Fall Out Boy - 'From Under the Cork Tree'."

I really can't comment because I don't remember too much about any of the myriad of concerts I went to back then.
I was never a Grateful Dead fan. Every time I hear Truckin' or Casey Jones I lament the day radio was born.
Yes was another big arena band... revolving stage, laser show, etc.
So where does that leave one's impression of Woodstock? A drugged out, drunken, mudding orgy?.... "GIVE ME A ......!"
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
I owened the album, cassette, and CD of that at different times of my life. Now I have the mp3's that are on that album.Right along with the cassette I still own of Beasties Boys - Liscense to Ill..

I'm still waiting for someone to come in here bragging about The Smiths, The Sex Pistols (The ultimate consumer band), The Cure and The UK Subs..

I went to school where Camper Van Beethoven was from, local heroes they were somewhat one of a kind back then, they liked to make money too.
My brother-in-law had one of the guys in HH in his band class and band camp.
