Bass lines

Uncategorized

Destruction of the Record Business

Uncategorized

Record sales are down, fewer CDs are going platinum and more artists are finding other ways to make streams of revenue for themselves, whether its selling clothing lines, sneakers, crunk juice, or vitamin water.  The good ole days of selling 7 million albums looks like a thing of the past.  Most music insiders blame it all downloading and the Internet.  I have a totally different take on it.
