| | The Spiritual Death of Music
06.01.02 by Vic Thrill (Vic Thrill) | |

| | The Problem With Music
01.01.02 by Steve Albini (Steve Albini) | |
| | | Whenever I talk to a band who are about to sign with a major label, I always end up thinking of them in a particular context. I imagine a trench, about four feet wide and five feet deep, maybe sixty yards long, filled with runny, decaying shit. I imagine these people, some of them good friends, some of them barely acquaintances, at one end of this trench. | |

| | A Chance to Break the Pop Stranglehold
05.09.99 by Neil Strauss (NY Times) | |

The first great dream is to get together with friends in a basement or garage, write songs, make music, feel the magic and perform at local clubs until a big record label rushes in waving a contract. And then the label takes care of the rest: hit singles, arena shows, limos, parties, a new house for mom. But the dream, even for those few who actually get to live it, has usually been a nightmare. | |
