>From SonicNet Music News of the World:
"Young bands that want and go after that big record deal -- they're
advance junkies, living in rock 'n' roll fantasy camp. ... If your
realistic market is anywhere from 0 to 100,000 copies sold -- even
200,000 -- you're better off releasing the work yourself. Say you're
generating $10 a CD and you sell 10,000. If you sold that on a
major label, they'd kick you off. But you do that on your own and
you've got a hundred thousand bucks. ... Hello everybody, good
morning, coffee's ready -- record companies have given up the
ghost." -- Scott Kempner, guitarist for the Dictators, the Del-
Lords and the Little Kings
