The major label...Yeah, we talked about this at CMJ. The major labels are the ones kind of clawing at the coffin; but they will always be around to sign pop artists like Britney or whatever the next dumb one will be. However, labels that actually have a decent following because they sign good bands will stick around. For instance, I think Saddle Creek has no worries because they are a record label that I will buy a record even if I don't know the artist that well. I just trust Saddle Creek that much, you know?<BR/><BR/>I guess it was just strange that Paramore had signed a 360 deal, I figured 360 deals would still be for the more major artists like Madonn-ugh and Robbie Williams was the other one I think.JennyLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667643699083984562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912444254269821366.post-34903350599616045892007-11-14T15:19:00.001-08:002007-11-14T15:19:00.001-08:00P.S. my bad about any band worth 3 shits...SuperS...P.S. my bad about any band worth 3 shits...SuperSuckers still rockbirdwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235070486309000683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912444254269821366.post-18530279746025585072007-11-14T15:19:00.000-08:002007-11-14T15:19:00.000-08:00the only record labels suffering are majors....and...the only record labels suffering are majors....and they're still pullin' in some decent bank. Indie labels usually have a pretty loyal fanbase who'll actually purchase the music somehow; either CD's, vinyl, or digital download. i don't think you'll see these 360 deals coming to any band worth 3 shits anytime soon.birdwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235070486309000683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912444254269821366.post-6362557250844476642007-11-14T15:14:00.000-08:002007-11-14T15:14:00.000-08:00I'm still on the fence about it.

On the one hand, I can understand the record label being frustrated that the record isn't selling and they aren't making money for putting the effort into it.<BR/>Then still, I don't know how fair it is to take that kind of money from the band.JennyLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667643699083984562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912444254269821366.post-73116258791281244402007-11-14T15:11:00.000-08:002007-11-14T15:11:00.000-08:00I'm not 100% certain, but the latest Supersuckers ...I'm not 100% certain, but the latest Supersuckers release is a Live Show CD + Dvd and I'm pretty sure it had a 360 deal, but maybe I should look that up.AnDrew Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628211362623021211noreply@blogger.com
