I started up Ninja Tune over here because I thought it would mean limos and
lots of drugs and sex and instead all I got was grey hairs and complete
social retardation...but I fucking love it.
I think it's great that people start labels. Just do it becuase you dig the
tunes, don't ever do it with the intention that it's going to pay the bills.
"we just wait for warp and ninjatune to find new artist for us to listen
to?"
exactly...hell no. If you're sitting on something great, put it out. Hey I
only got $4000 in debt on my first label (Discreet/Indiscreet) and we
managed to put out 7 records and have a good laugh. Small price to pay for
the experience that it gained me and my partner at the time. Now I'm running
Ninja and he's got a boss record store and distributor.
