Come on guys check out all the artists you like Buy direct from them Make sure none of your money goes into major record companies.. Give the money to the artist personally if you have to
I'm with you there. I'd be perfectly happy to pay an artist direct for their music. I'd be happier that way because I'd know the money went direct to them. Only trouble is that not that many artists distribute material this way. I've paid direct for CDs and CDRs from Michael Gira [ex-Swans], Jarboe [ex-Swans], Freeform, Yellow6 and Curve/Headcase. I wish more artists would issue live, demo, remixes and completed tracks/albums in this way. It's really cool to have some form of contact direct with the artist and at least feel you're giving them something back for giving you their music. Thats cool. ~Paul
