It's true, I am not judging just by what the statement says JT, and this arguably is very unfair on my part, not to mention downright fantasist behaviour! :)
Still, I mean no harm, nor ill will, in going further and admittedly speculating, that the current economic conditions, to which few of us are immune, are part of the reason for the closure too. The truth is, I suspect none of us outside of Clone can actually know the complete reasons for sure - but maybe you definitely do? If so, please excuse me. However from my perspective, for Clone, the what the underlying reason is, isn't as important as the fact that they're a great label, run by great people, with whom many of us can identify. That means we can all have a good measure of confidence in their future, no matter what they choose to do with it. And _that_ is in fact reflected quite well - also implictly, rather than explicity, note - in the statement too. See ya soon :) Ken -----Original Message----- From: JT Stewart [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 5:23 PM To: Odeluga, Ken Cc: 313 Mailinglist List Subject: Re: (313) Closure of the Clone record label > Nobody wants to read another embittered tirade about the collapse of > the market for vinyl and for paid music in general, even if it's > painfully correct. The message says the label was doing well, so to read it as a comment on how vinyl is dying or how music sales are struggling is not accurate at all, I think. I think they honestly have no direction right now and feel like they've done everything, so they'll be trying some different things for awhile. Will probably be interesting..
