That was a very interesting interview - I presume you are talking aboout the one in Sound on Sound (last month?) He said he never actually pays himself anything for running planet mu and sadly I think that is occurring with most labels. Also I think *alot* of money stops in the distirbutors pockets who may forget to pay the label for the 100 CD's they distributed for them (and sold). **-*-Kia --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
