boing boing has a post about the amazing site indiebandsurvivalguide.com. what makes it amazing is how exhaustive it is and how FREE it is. download the .pdf. or buy the book. or browse the website infinitely. with all of the new high-tech futuristic personal computer technology the kids are beepin and blorpin around with these days it surely does reveal how painfully level the playing field is now. so please, you young kids with sideways haircuts, personal computers and more fashion sense than musical taste: study this guide. or don’t. you’re all boring me to death with that whiny shit. why would you look like motley crue and sound like kajagoogoo? that makes no sense at all. you know what – don’t read this guide – i don’t want you twerps with band names that have neither a subject nor an object to know about self-promotion and how to strike a distribution deal. just keep on myspacing, yes, that’s it, keep on myspacing. there’s nothing for you in this book, it’s for those who really mean it.
