Members sabriel9v Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm watching this documentary about the music industry right now. There's definitely a bit of bias, but it's very interesting nonetheless. http://www.hulu.com/watch/62945/before-the-music-dies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kramerguy Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 hmm care to give a short summary? I'm all about truth, but if the bias is too heavy (on either side), it would only be a waste of time IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all about truth, but if the bias is too heavy (on either side), it would only be a waste of time IMO. Um I finished watching the movie last night and it's really not too heavily biased. It's biased against major labels and mainstream media outlets, but the film really takes a more anti-corporate and anti-politics stance as opposed to major labels are evil, simply because they're MAJOR, boo hiss hiss! They make a fair case as to why major labels may not be suited for artists looking to be super innovative and unique. The film actually has more music business employees than artists. People who are djs, a&r guys, marketing people, columnists. They had Erykah Badu, Bonnie Raitt, and Dave Matthews in there and they made some excellent points. Doyle Bramhall was featured and they use him as an example of an artist who would have been a huge hit in the seventies, but major label politics prevented him from flourishing. The movie is really good, I enjoyed it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
