The only power that major labels wield is intimidation, because international distribution only costs $35. So, what do we need them for? In the United States, Independent Musicians out-number signed musicians 70 to 1. I know that in time; we will saturate the market with so much new, original, inspiring, independent music, that the majors will not be able to compete with the numbers.<br /><br />Speaking of NUMBERS; my new release comes out on November 3rd, and we at Art Beyond Audio are discussing the street campaign. (A word of advice: when marketing an upcoming album release, you do not want to spread your budget thin trying to reach as many as possible. The trick is to saturate a specific geographic location, and to cultivate a small following. Then, if the album is good, they will tell two friends and their two friends will tell <em>their</em> two friends.) So here is my question...<br /><br />Where should we launch the street campaign for NUMBERS?<br /><br />1. Oakland, PA (Pitt)<br />2. Mt. Lebanon, PA<br />3. Tempe, AZ (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ASU</span>)<br />4. Hollywood, CA<br />5.
