An open letter to the record company execs
Over the last two days, I have received 2 notices from Blogger.com that let me know that some record labels were outraged by my posting(therefore promoting, but whatever) their songs. One was Beck, and one was TV On The Radio.
I am just a guy in Ohio who LOVES music. So naturally I love to share said music. I only post what I like....really. What pisses me off is that the big money bastards at the record companies didn't have the decency to even ask me. I would pull a song in a second if I thought I was upsetting an artist I liked. But no, they go right to Blogger, the host, because the 8 or 9 people who read my blog may have gotten a track for free....the horror! Seriously...have they seen my blog? No advertising....no master plan....just a guy who LOVES music and wants to write about it.
Record companies....you just keep fucking up....I tried to help, telling people that I liked your artists...but you thought I was giving your shit away for free....so fuck you.
No. Really. FUCK YOU, you are taking away everything that is pure and great in rock n' roll.
And the artists who are under this umbrella....how do you feel about this? I was promoting your music....and I got in trouble.
