Thanks for that thats a really good laricte. I'm going to re-post that. I've pretty much always been saying pretty similar things.As regards artistic originality / novelty, anyone you can see doing anything original was there at least 6 months before you. You try catching up with their fresh new style you will always be playing catch-up. You try jumping on the next big thing you will always be out of date. It makes more sense just to do your own thing.The paradigm I view music on the internet from is like gigging in the 60 s You play to different areas (of the internet) and grow in reputation. You may sell a bit of merch along the way (mp3 s) but its only chump change.You only make some money to live off if you ever get taken up by the mainstream media (and don't sign all your singles over in shitty contracts to shitty labels). Thats sort of like being signed in the old times.You need to sell about 4000 mp3 albums a year to be comfy off from this game (taking into account fallow) and thats only going to happen with mainstream media. Even then that feels like a lot of mp3 albums to sell. At my listeners to sale ratio that it something like at least 40,000 listeners to get 4000 legal downloads. Thing is there is a global market so a shitload more money to be made if the crest of the wave can be broken.
