It can be fairly assumed that most of the creators of music discussed on this list are not making their living in the now-dying music industry. Dntel needs 'the music industry' to survive? Astrobotnia needs 'the music industry' to survive? The Residents need 'the music industry' to survive? Phthalo needs 'the music industry' to survive? Kompakt Koln need 'the music industry' to survive? David Toop needs 'the music industry' to survive? Aphex Twin needs 'the music industry' to survive?????????? Puhleeeeeeeeeeeze! Pete Townsend needs the music industry to survive, that's Who needs it. Avril Lavigne needs to get a job anyway, a real job. Alicia Keys can wait tables, I'm sure. Let Puffy try workin' at the Car Wash: it's about time that he come clean, anyhow. Fuck BMG and EMI: long live the indies! .o0O}seeklektek{O0o. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
