i love how access to the internet and one steve albini essay makes everyone believe they are immediately 100000 times more clued in than a band, their manager and their lawyer.

So true.

Was going to write an essay here but it would be such a waste of time and effort.

Don't know why people are getting so hyper about it anyway.... €1m is not a lot of money in record deal terms.

Can't we all just be happy someone got a break?

hey, someone should wheel out the the Albini Article and throw around some cliché's.

edit: ah. ahhaha.

 

[treesurgeon]

Yeah man, that's all we need. More Rolling Stones clones blocking up the path for real music...Four pretty boys, eh? Well here's guitars and off you go...man, fuck that. Real music must find a way through.

Yeah.

Cliches aside, plenty of bands that I've come across have been royally riden by record companies under the premise of big deals.

I've heard Humanzi are brilliant.

I'll leave you to work on it for a while.

 

[nonemoreblack]

I was at some Humanzi gig a while back. Not much to sing and dance about. But the aftershow party was a great laugh. Yer bloke from the Republic of Loose was there, absolutely blootered out of his face.

I dont think I've seen anyone that drunk before.
After disappearing to the jacks for sometime he reappeared two guys either side holding him up and he later went on to projectile vomit over random punters.

I suppose thats pretty.|..| with a bit of !bog

Give him €1000,000

 

[eoinbox]

im just shocked they havent had to change their name. lets call our band.....a cross between a human and a chimpanzee. emmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[moc]

its probably really a deal for a fiver a bag of tayto salt and vinegar and some recording time, no better way to get people talking about bands then put loads of figures in front of their name.fair play to them anyhow, maybe they're the best thing since eh... u2

"Tom Dunne, the Today FM DJ, said: “It will be great if a record label is to establish a presence and they will have no shortage of up and coming bands to record and promote."

Re: €1,000,000...yes €1,000,000

there was a trend a few years ago for major labels to sign up mediocre irish bands and then mercilessly drop them six months later. ive recently seen the lead singer of one of these bands (i think) working as a waiter in a pub in ranelagh. he's probably paying back his 10000000 advance.
