Wasn't there a thumped signature that said "the scene that celebrates it's self"

I'd like to change that to "The scene the can't support it's self"

i've a distant memory that that was a jim carroll quote.

I knew it was some absolute visionary that came up with that nugget.

Do what you need to do. Idealistically I'm opposed to Fundit but then but i realise that people have to eat.

i think its a lot easier to be opposed to it when you don't incur the kind of travel costs i do in playing shows.

I have to travel from London now so the last show I played cost me well over €120 on travel alone.

I'm considering doing one of these yokes.

So I can get this lad who's on the up in LA to maximise my potential via his mix maximisation.

It will involve me flying out there for a couple of weeks..maybe a month or 6 weeks.It'll be intensive.

I'm thinking 2 grand should do it.Maybe 2500..depends on the price of coke.

Funders get to come stay in my gaf while I'm away.

the joe duffy show is funded by ads. I wonder are we allowed to put ads on our records yet??

just saw this:

Sigue Sigue Sputnik did that at some stage in the mid-80s.

That was an NME thing.

No infographic this year, but there is a tree anyways. I got a fair few records this way this year anywhoo. Was reminded of this by the fight like apes furore on nialler9's facebook.

I'd like to see what those 381 projects grossed before any pats on the backs are handed out.

A fair few would be not for profit, i'd imagine. What people pay for is not for something to be profitable, its for it to happen.

Did they pay tax on all that?

I added Nialler9 as a facebook friend when i saw the word 'furore'

A quick look at the bands featured gives me the feeling I'll be un-friending it again soon

I like the Fund It illustration though

Well, the point is that those 381 projects will probably have follow on projects, second albums, another exhibition etc, but I'd imagine few if any of the people involved have actually learned anything about how to finance these follow on projects. Save for "do another fundit" that's the point.

What furore?

was looking at that site the other day. all the old album/music campaigns listed reached the 100% or more. I'm presuming there have been a few that have flunked, surely?
