Ya know-I noticed that I am buying more indie label music than major label these days
Tulsa*, Yeasayer, Kate Tucker, Black Mountain, Blockhead, Goldfrapp, Gay and Terry Woods, Evenscense, Azam Ali, to name a few of the groups whom ive bought of late.
(YEASAYER is a group to watch)
I was always puzzled how these small labels could have the elaborate packaging that many do.
It was explained to me . The label/artist gets a whopping 50% of retail vs. what I was told that the Majors take 75%-or more.
Plus there just isnt much new, exciting or risk-taking from the major labels these days-but they blame lackluster sales on pirating-which is bunk.
*funniest label name: Park the Van records;
You should give all of the above a listen be it from iTunes or Amazon
