Ok, so sure a cd costs .25 cents to manufacture these days and depending on the label thousands of dollars to promote, with a good song the label can stand to make a large profit margin with only selling 20,000 units. But how much do you think they might be willing to pay for a paid internship. i don’t care if you’re punk. I found this post today on craigs list for some mid-town based label wanting to pay a “intern” $100 a week plus transport Boasting $476.00 a month!. This is criminal and so way below the poverty line, this executive needs to get his head checked. The money is almost an insult. What are people thinking? There was this posting The Interns’ Guide: Low-Cost Live Music but damn, at least respectable slavery comes with housing.

Always a spetic for seemingly overly computerized songs. I always wonder if the “mix” translates to the live thing. Radiohead does it hands down, they drag all their weird shit on stage and rock it. However, when it comes to minimalistic songs like “dreams” by tv on the radio a featured band on epitonic, the questions always comes-up in the back of my head, not that I’ve ever seen them… but that is where some bands are going, and I should go. I really do dig this particular song, better than other stuff i rememeber hearing, that or it grew on me like a good songs should sometimes, but perhaps I should engage them in a debate with an interview first. Songs like “chiness handcuffs” by The New Year are minimal and sounds like a band to me straight up. The vent is over.

I enjoyed this post so much from from weblogincs digital music blog I had to comment. Yes, things are easier today and part of the world still purchases casettes and even messes around with the archaic format but damn there are so many new mays to manage music that it can drive you a little bonkers. I said it before in my analog living blog, that this here digital on the move era is exausting.

Available for the next month from the pitch dorks, is this band that sounds just like their name: Tralala doing a tune called “all fired up” from audika records. Over and over the verse/chorus goes and cliche lyrics repeat but if i heard 10 of these fem led songs with the same energy I would be a huge fan for sure in a cherry blosom clinic sort of way. The organ in the background, and meet you at the burger hop, will make all 50’s revivalist happy for sure. I was trying to download the new DJ/rupture tune “Low Income Tomorrowland” but allas that link is conjested probably due to the 4.5 star rating!(fyi they used to do 1-10 rating but have editorialized themselves somewhat) Note: the dj negrophonic site does have a couple mp3 sets worth streaming by DJ /rupture: gold teeth thief.

Itunes single of the week: “U must be”, has go something smooth. Nice mix of 70’s strings, and french remnants of a rebirth of cool back beat in the bridge, giving this otherwise generic ballad a decent vibe. The end sort of trickles away. Ending of songs should be as strong as their begingings.
