I'm wondering how many electronic artists (especially in the US ), have full time jobs (not related to their music). What do you think? After reading todd sines' article about the music business on hyperreal ( and various other sources) It seems as though it is extremely tough to make enough money to support yourself.
I'm not talking about support like, " See my brand new Analogamaticuberfilter XK60000, it matches the color on my BMW ." I mean support like, " Damn, I guess I'm eating macaroni and cheese...............AGAIN (staring a a box of newly pressed vinyl and wondering if...... just in case, vinyl is edible) It seems for the up and coming artists money would play a big factor in breaking out. It can cost alot of money to press your own records, buy equipment, move out of your mom's house, etc. Anyway I was wondering if anyone out there wondered about the same thing. peace
