@Grimezsz Meaning that in order to pay off 20k of album expenses I would need to generate 133k of income just to break even.
My advance was $7k, I had a top ten record and made $0 off 40M+ streams.
Literal insanity.
@Grimezsz I was signed to one of the bigger indie labels for years and the deal was:
85% label
15% to me (after recoup)
BUT
I recouped at 15% - so 15 cents of every dollar went to paying down my accounting, the rest was label profit until I hit green.
Ok, what if instead of this effective altruism stuff we focus on building a time machine that allows us all to experience what it was like to hear βFunkytownβ for the first time at the Copacabana while absolutely zooted on blanca
