Notes On The Importance Of Supporting Artists:
We see a new age dawning for artists! An age where we self publish and self promote and all of the bullshit that goes along with entertainment law and large corporate interests become largely irrelevant. This is happening and its fucking awesome but it, like any interesting happening requires audience participation.
Go to see their shows! If they're not playing in your area, go on their page and write them and tell them that you want them to come to your town. Many people think that artists support themselves off of record sales. This is actually complete bullshit. If they're signed to a major label, it's a sure bet that the label is taking most of the profits from the record sales. Its the shows that actually make them money.
Buy their stuff! The previous, said, buying their records affirms the band is worthwhile to the bean-counting elements of the industry and does earn them some small coin. Even better if they're self published, since the coins are actually going directly to them.
Turn your friends on! And while youre doing that, let them listen to music that you think is cool. Culture is completely viral, so be a good little vector!
