Man, the point of views here are pretty pitiful. Sure, Brittany Spears might have a ton of money but just because a small percentage of bands make a ton of money, doesn't mean that every band is able to live off their music. I listen to plenty of bands that have to keep a day job. Over the next few months, I will easily spend about $500 on CDs and concerts. You're making a conscience decision to spend money on video games and not other items. I will not be buying some games because music is far more of a priority to me than video games.

Post of the year. Very well put my friend. :)

 OMMG.... they have too... they have too.. work?   They have to have a... DAY JOB??

 

The TRAGEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Music is the greatest passion of my life.  I love writing and playing music.  I am currently attending college majoring in computer science (and minoring in music).  I have about 4 hours of class a day.  I then go to work for 6-8 hours.  After work, my friend(s) come over and we write music.  I love writing music.  I love playing music.   I love listening to music.  It is a HOBBY and a PASSION.  It is not a JOB.  It should not replace a JOB.

 

 

And in this day and age, Record labels are an unnecessary entity inbetween the Band and the Fanbase.  Bands no longer require a Record label to publicize them.  We have the internet.  We have P2P sharing.  We have, dar I say it, Myspace.  We don't need the Record Labels.  They should not exist.

 

 

Btw we have about 40 minutes of music written.  We are finishing up a couple more songs, and then we are going to record it all.    If any of you are into anything like Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Do Make Say Think, or even something like Sigur Ros, you would probobly like the stuff we write.  I'll make a torrent of the songs when we are done, and you all can download it!  Probobly put up a myspace page or whatever too.
