Uh, guys... the music industry as we know it from the 20th century was a blip on the radar. It was never like that before the 20th century and it will never be like that again. Prior to the 20th century, musicians were: - Either patrons of an institution; or - Travelling musical acts. Just like any other artist, you made money through word of mouth, promotion and/or sucking up to wealthy people. When audio recording was invented, a new market was created - the listener. These were people who could afford the playback device. The industry was controlled by those with enough money to invest in decent recording equipment and decent audio engineers. Then radio came about and you didn't need to buy records, you could just listen for free. Because the equipment required capital, a nice distribution chain eventually evolved to ensure the music got from artist to listener, and the industry was born from that, along with the money paid for the product. This distribution chain included radio and then TV. The only way you ever got a look into the recording industry back then was to either be "good" enough (eventually turning into "marketable" enough) to be selected by the recording industry to promote and develop. The "Breakthrough" people talk about? That's when enough demand exists that you no longer have to approach the industry, they approach you. Meanwhile there was still the local band local artist thing going, but that became affected by TV and radio, and the fact that people no longer need to be entertained or communicate with the community and friends in venues, they can do it in the comfort of their own home. Not to mention planning laws, alcohol laws, and the fact that venues now have so much choice as to who to put on stage that they can now command whatever terms they like - and people will meet them. Couple that with the profligacy of home audio recording equipment and instruments, the fact that -anybody- can be a musician and -anybody- can be a recording artist, the only people left with any ability to make money out of this are the venues, and they know it. Until our communities get decentralised enough that local bands matter again, this won't change, so we might as well get used to it. Do it for the love of it, that's what musicians have been doing forever before the blip in the radar that is the 20th century.

Some people like the music industry and want to preserve it. Lots of things developed in the 20th Century that didn't happen before then that people quite enjoy.

Adnar posted:I was in Melbourne last weekend and commented how good the Espy was in that there was a band on and people went for the sake of it being a bar that happened to have live msic on that bands could cut their teeth in. The Espy was my favorite place to play. First and only time we got a rider (that was all MB and water, but with 2 non-drinkers in the band the drummer and I had plenty). the sando was OK (when it was still called the sando) unless there is some new sando that I havent been to because I refuse to invest in a lovely music scene of low-effort-on-purpose music. Play for free for the love of what you do, not because you want it to be your job. if its good enough to become your job itll happen, and expecting to get paid every time you do it when you start out is just putting up your own roadblocks.

How the hell do you get question 9 wrong... it's like "Do you know what a percentage is Y/N" and some people don't? I can imagine getting some of the others wrong but surely that one is just "here, don't feel bad about yourself"
