Corporate Rock Still Sucks
Years ago, when I was writing and recording music all of the time, I dreamed of making a living touring with my band, selling tons of cds and being a rock star. One day, my friend Zack showed me an article, written by super-producer/engineer/musician Steve Albini, and I woke up to the harsh reality of the music industry. Of course, the article didn’t crush all of my dreams of making a living in the music industry; I had to spend a lot of money and go to school for that. Please take a few minutes and read this article to see just how messed up the music industry can be.
“The Problem With Music” by Steve Albini

Song Of The Day:
