John, Super,very well put. I like the number listing technique lol Has anyone ever been like "Man I lost those contacts now, nothing new is on the horizon, nothing's happening. And even so artists are all writing there own songs even if they shouldn't be technically. Especially since the quality of them are so low right now ANYONE CAN and still they don't need somebody who JUST WRITES SONGS anymore in this business. What the hell are my options? Film & TV? well I was on to that 10 years ago and if you go that path YOU have to provide the final production product.. That costs alot more than $50 - $75 - $135- $200 or $500 dollars... Actually it costs $400 with Substudio Music Services lol And let me think for a second NOW the music libraries have become the more dominate force in providing songs for film & TV. Press play a TINY pay and download. That's gonna put my kids through college? You can't even buy them McDonalds for what places are willing to pay. Oh and wouldn't the MAJORS GIVE there new young bands material away FREE! to me in the next hot show or movie. The young band will be THRILLED to death to tell all there friends & family even if they did not get a penny. As the label would sit down and explain to them HOW important it is to have this FREE exposure on CSI or the hundred other shows.. Sounds like Monopoly to me... I want my next song done by "Rhianna" I've been told here that I can reach her publisher for FREE and I'm guaranteed solicitation and a response by phone or video....  Well Mags didn't promise that lol but really what the hell kinda publishers are we talking about. Why would THEY bother with ME? or US? THEY WON'T!!!! So now you need alternatives and new angles. Yes becareful, be doubtful, be pessimistic but do not be close minded. Everytime, a hundred times, someone asks me " Should I join Taxi"?
Forget about the list of reasons why or why not.
ONE BIG SIMPLE QUESTION!
"What else are u doing, where else can you go with your music" ?
