An article by the producer of Nirvana's "In Utero": http://www.negativland.com/albini.html > "The band is now 1/4 of the way through its contract, has > made the music industry more than 3 million dollars richer, > but is in the hole $14,000 on royalties. The band members > have each earned about 1/3 as much as they would working at a > 7-11, but they got to ride in a tour bus for a month. The > next album will be about the same, except that the record > company will insist they spend more time and money on it. > Since the previous one never "recouped," the band will have > no leverage, and will oblige. The next tour will be about the > same, except the merchandising advance will have already been > paid, and the band, strangely enough, won't have earned any > royalties from their T-shirts yet. Maybe the T-shirt guys > have figured out how to count money like record company guys." ---> jab | commie | http://commie.oy.com "Less is moo." - The Holy Mad Cow http://www.holymadcow.org
