..Some of you might even take it seriously.

That'll be 77% of ILM then.

More like 77% will be disappointed it's not a serious site.

If the point of that was to be funny, it's a failure. And since I'm sure that was the point, there is no point.

Indeed.

How can anyone think that this woman Ani DiFranco is at all deserving of fans -- especially when we have higher-caliber Major Label artists like Jewel who was around long before?

Um.

Furthermore, what Major Label in their right mind would sign even more bands that sound exactly like the original punk pioneers, Green Day? We've already got one -- why do we need another one? I admit, we should allow for some amount of diversity, and Bad Religion is a likely secondary candidate.

Um um.

When the music industry began, there was an established line between "amateur" and "professional" that should have never been crossed. Back in the old days, if musicians were good, they'd get a record deal.

This guy is completely ignoring the fact that today, image and looks means more than musical talent if you want a deal, and the true talented musicians are more likely to end up on indies....

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 13 October 2006 21:23 (twenty years ago)

Uh, not exactly.

It's all about ideas and it's the less risky ideas that gets an act signed up by a major record label.

(But it sure helps if you've got big knockers.)

music sucks, get over it!

music is fine, it's just the publicists mainly who ruin old music for us and journalists who ruin new music for the rest.

How many years left until we rename "indie music" anyway? Wasn't it essentially the word that replaced "alternative"?

Next up, I say we call it "Internet Rock" because, hey, most of these bands do get discussed on the internet a lot and don't get enough attention in the mainstream media. Or how about "E-Rock"? Guys?

fuck music, publicists are the FUTURE

Geir, you do realise that the piece is a joke, right?
