It's simple really. There were these aliens who all looked like Monica Lewinsky drove around in Hummers, trying to take over the human race by sucking the life out of them (leave where they sucked to your imagination) - you'd have to go to the Creative thread and dig around for the communal story to get the rest of the plot....

There you go - polite English gentleman does it for you...

I would like to meet SM. I'd have a thousand questions to start.

smoothmoniker · 04-04-2006, 08:20 PM

and I'd love to answer them. Go!

Undertoad · 04-04-2006, 09:27 PM

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?

smoothmoniker · 04-05-2006, 10:51 AM

I didn't. Couldn't find it anywhere online - do you have a link?

Undertoad · 04-05-2006, 11:41 AM

Aw crap - the resource where I know this is posted, is down right now...

xoxoxoBruce · 04-05-2006, 12:22 PM

In the meantime he could tells us about 30dropframe.

Undertoad · 04-05-2006, 01:09 PM

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

Undertoad · 04-05-2006, 01:13 PM

Oh yeah, it helps if I get the record industry guy right. Not Jimmy Iovine, Steve Albini. the rant is here

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.
