Onstage & Backstage 
If there is a decrease in male population because of war, but the male/female population naturally rebalances itself, how much is a chicken n rib combo plate at the Dinosaur BBQ?
Seriously though, what should be the top focus for releasing an album independently? Overall and specifically marketing.

I’ve read your book “Confessions of a record producer”. In fact I’ve read it a few times. It helped me a lot to understand how music business works where it does 🙂 thanx for your blog posts!!!
I would absolutely love to get my hands on “Confessions of a Record Producer” by Moses Avalon. I have been following MA for a long time and I am pretty sure that this book will reveal some otherwise unknown secrets of the music industry

You are quite simply, da bomb. I’m an LA Award winning songwriter, but I’m now in Chicago looking to keep writing, and submitting to pub/lic co’s, and could use some of your suggestions & tips! Yay for NAMM and all you do, Moses!

Is Harry Fox the way to go for licensing cover songs or is there a new digital age alternative?
“Confessions …” has saved/made me $$$ and helped me sign better deals. Period. So thanks for that…

Every Producer, and soon-to-be Producer should pick these up. Information is Power.

Moses Avalon tells it like it is! randall@randallsmusic.com make me a winner bro
Here’s what an A&R man recently had to say about the labels. “It’s no secret that there won’t be record labels in 10 years — the industry isn’t going away, it’s changing,” Ref; National Post http://life.nationalpost.com/2012/01/20/i-want-your-job-ar-man-bryan-columbus/
Now we’ve been hearing about the demise of the majors for years, and while there has been a culling (so now we’re down to 3 real majors), it’s starting to look like this consolidation has served to make UMG into one massive giant conglomerate – perhaps stronger than ever? (did the Biebs and Nickleback save the industry? – j/k)
On another note, Ron Paul’s comments on SOPA and censorship are interesting and provocative. Regardless of your current POV on this, I think there is a valid fear / concern for too much government overreach in this area. Even though I am in support of copyright law and the right of artists to be paid for their work; I can also appreciate the concerns expressed by the tech gods.
