This is a business built on promotion. We've been giving music away to radio stations for 30 years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Distributing the music is so easy it's moot. So now the delicate art of calling attention to your music means everything. Marketing is distribution.
The music business is the most childish business in the world. Nobody knows what they're selling or why, but they sell it if it works.
Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.
I have known from the beginning one thing you need to know. That is, the music business is a business.
As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
Despite whatever commercial kind of success you might have or radio success, I don't want to do something just to get as many people as possible to listen.
People are doing what they can these days and looking for creative ways to sell music.
The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings, that's good.
I do promotion when it is necessary, but I always want to get back to the music.
Our records are commodities. We're looking to make a sale. The radio stations are looking to get the advertising dollars. The end.
