Hey, Tom...

Did you really surprise your dad with a "Where is my dinner, bitch?" statue or was he in on it from the beginning?

How do you feel about the band Anal C&nt and their rendition of "Down"?

How crazy does it make you when the "alternative medicine" crowd says things like "We have a cure for cancer, but it's being hidden from us in a ploy to make billions in treatment" or "Doctors don't want to cure cancer because then they'd be out of business"?

Thank you for your response. It's aggravating to me that this rhetoric is used by shills to sell supplements that can be sold without any proven efficacy or published side effects. That in itself is a multibillion dollar industry.

As someone from the recording side of the music industry I'd have to ask the same question as the guy doing the AMA....why? Mega pop star success? If not, my advice is to spend a few grand on recording gear, acoustic treatment, and learn how to record your own music. Write, record, put it online, promote the shit out of it, and play as many shows as you can. Create as much as you can. If you feel you have an album that needs to be recorded by a pro then hire them. It's insane how cheap it is to have a big name working on your record nowadays.

So many bands are accessible and easy to get into contact with nowadays you can literally shoot them an e-mail with a link to your songs and let them know you'd love to open for them. Podcasts are dominating in download numbers, and are a great promotion tool. Yes, the music industry is saturated, but there isn't a better time to DIY. Youtube! DSLRs are cheaper as dirt nowadays. DIY.

Labels are going the way of the dodo.
