What he's writing about isn't fresh or even news, Luke. When one has to quote from RollingStone as a source than I much rather read what 'Da Stone' has to say over his drivel because THE MAN is short-changing his "mate"
Wow > major labels are corrupt and greedy. Do any of these self-professed musicians know what they are getting into when they sing a contract with big biz (a.k.a. Satan)? Do they seriously think that recording for a major label will bring them lots of free booze, pussy and limo rides to and fro gigs? And his whole "we are the people" hippy shit is ridiculous when it comers to a grass roots revival which has all been done and talked to death in the 80's in rags like 'Maximum Rock 'N' Roll' You know, where all these anarchy punk bands were going to make it big and conversely smash the system with just their cassettes 2-page paper fan rags while at the same time wanting free beer and loads of pussy?
So the 'Biz' is greedy and unfair. Hey, there's always night school for musicians, isn't there?
apparently radiohead got no royalties from itunes under their emi contract
