this has got to be a joke. or written by a moron who thinks they know the music industry. because if they’re serious…i don’t even know. some fucking pop/rock A&R guy from interscope? i guy who designs over-priced box sets? a “motown-style hit factory for the emo set?”

what. the. fuck.

“hit factories” are part of the reason the industry is so fucked up!@#!@$

the only one of these otherwise ill-informed “saviors” of rock n roll might be jeffrey remedios of arts & crafts productions. i hadn’t heard of him until now, and i want to find out more about him, but he seems like he’s doing it right. it’s only these types of do-it-yourself ventures that are going to help the music industry. companies like arts & crafts work because they work with bands they like and they keep their rosters small enough to sustain that human connection between manager and band. you’ve GOT to believe in what you’re selling and that’s why independent management and labels are the way to go.
