CD Baby are one of the good guys. This is a great interview, especially for all y’all bands out there.
There are different reasons for making music. For some people the album is a starting point ? once the album is out, they?re gonna promote the hell out of it, they?re gonna tour, they?re gonna work it, they?re gonna try to make something happen. The album comes out, and it?s like a gun going off at the start of a race. But for other people, the album coming out is a finish line. They wanted their whole life to make a record. And you know what, it?s been a few years with some friends and some favors, but they did it, they made a record. And that?s the end of it, they don?t even really care if people buy it ? they are happy that they fulfilled this dream of making a record. It?s a very different mentality. (full interview)
