Contract whores!
Whining
I just hate
when I talk to people that are still in the old record business. And climb on
to the old standards like a child to their lollipop.

You can just
hear it when they start to sell an act to you on how much progress they really
had. I was talking to a manger that really are in the old world a couple days
ago.

First
mistake, they namedrop stuff that is not a namedrop. Sounds like this:

You know
the guitarist played in Lonely wolf before. And the drummer is from Nuclear
boys. And the producer has produced Sator.

Just
mention Sator (witch is the only of these bands that are semifamous) makes me
go off. Sator is like the most useless band to namedrop ever! So really it’s
nothing to namedrop! Don’t namedrop something that is not a
household name. And if it is a household name make sure it’s not a lousy one
like Accept, Scorpions, Europe or Running Wild. Let it at least be Gun ‘n’
Roses, Motorhead or Kiss. Or don’t even mention it.

Then they
do the second mistake. And usually a bigger mistake. They tell you how much the
critics loves the band. Kerrang! said that the band is god’s gift to mankind.

Really!
First is Karrang! still given out? In paperform? Second yes I just looked on
the figures on Spotify the album doesn’t have over 1000 streams. So what the
bloody hell does it matter that (if they did, it seems like I’s never on the
bands homepages a copy of these reviews) if Kerrang! wrote that the audience doesn’t
care what Kerrang! writes. Really no one. Actually the 13 year old neighbor’s kid
has more views on his Youtube channel then Kerrang! has readers.

These two
sales methods is in the past. Before when really you couldn’t read the figures,
and the record labels manipulated them quite much. Today is just worthless. I
can read a bands status on my phone in less than 10 seconds. You don’t need to
boost if the figures is not there. Just tell me like it is. This is a new band
that just released an album and we haven’t got it out to a bigger audience.

Then comes
the killing line of the sales pictch: We just need a good recordlabel.

Here is
also a kind of bad thing. I mean the bands has released things and yes when I
look on their pages on Spotify I see the names of the labels. Yes if the label
is run by some old dud with a hairline that are down in the neck and grow a
ponytail and gives out records from a small village in Sweden. That just tells
me that the band is just suckers for signing contacts, any contract would do.
Can be even worse the dude with a long back hairline can have lederhosen and
live in a small German village that I just want to punch you in the face.
Really hard since you such a contract whore!

Why is
these people still around. Yes I know they are still populate Midem. They have
nothing to do in today’s music industry, really nothing. It’s like the band
that signed with the guy who signed U2 as a manager, they still haven’t found
what they are looking for.
