Hi all Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have the impression that there are artists with different intentions out there: A: Established artist with no major-label aspirations, making money mostly through gigs & various projects etc => Launch a variety of media to get attention by different people in order to get hired B: Artist making enough money in his daytime job => artistic expression without compromise, CDs etc mainly as self-expression C: Young promising acts hoping for a major label deal => Present focused, little material in perfect quality, try to appeal to mass market & draw record label attention I would presume that most people on this list are category A or B. So I think putting a variety of stuff on the web would make sense for you to promote you as an artist (to be hired) or simply because you enjoy putting out whatever the heck you feel like. :) Then again, if some young promising artists (category C) really seriously aim for a major label deal, it might be wiser - I guess - similar to Per's initial advice to pay attention on posting only premium-quality stuff on the internet, and also keep the content very focused. Like, I was approached with an online invitation by a young French band YEFFI. They contacted me based on some playlist preferences. I did like their music, indeed. And I think they have presented themselves very well on the web for their goal: http://www.myspace.com/yeffiband Anyway, this were just some observations. Again, correct me if I'm wrong. You might know much more about the music industry. @Mark: how on earth did you miss the chance to meet Boy George?? ;-) Aah, the good old 80ies... best regards Buzap -- Psssst!
