Okay, so the internal computer network at work has some weird problem where everything works at about 1/25th speed, so things have ground to somewhat of a pathetic halt while the techs fix it and I'm just sitting around. It won't be fixed in a hurry. The internet still works at normal speed though, which means I have a few hours to kill. I could spend it playing Mafia Wars or I could spend it on here. So...
Those who've been paying attention will know that I work in the music industry. I work at a radio station, also I work for more than one record label, on top of that I teach music, I perform music, write music, go on tours, get interviewed, interview others, do live sound for bands, engineer bands in the studio, produce bands in the studio, write scores and get them played by people with stuffy white shirts, blah blah blah. In other words I have experience in just about every aspect of the industry, and the areas that I am not involved with, I either know people who are, or I have reference material at my fingertips. So ask me stuff about any facet of the music industry, if you want to know about it. Any reasonable question will be answered. The only questions I won't answer (besides banworthy stuff) is anything that might be considered "digging dirt" on an individual or organisation and thus defamatory, however I can talk in more general, lawyer/moderator-friendly terms about some of the more controversial topics if you really want. Many people here like to post about music so presumably some of you are at least curious about it from an insider's perspective.
I have this thread bookmarked so I can see if you post in it.
(Occasionally I get an unsolicited music-industry related question in my inbox, so this thread is dedicated to you guys who do already ask me stuff via PM - you gave me the idea for this. You know who you are.)
