Everything this guy now touches turns to shit - Spyderbaby, Ascension Of The Watchers, Prong, Revco…
Those bands (minus early Prong) have always been shit so Al can’t be blamed for them.
Totally agree about how Al should be out scouting…13th Planet should be looking for Hip Hop/Techno/DnB/Dubstep/Noise producers/bands as well as crappy Industrial Nu Metal ones. If he fails to do this 13th Planet will go down sooner rather than later. I mean there are sooooo many shit hot artists out there in the listed genres that kick ass and aren’t signed who could make 13th Planet a respectable label in the industry.
On a side note about the fans…the one thing that REALLY surprised me about the last tour in Glasgow was all these young guys and girls wearing Ministry shirts.
well look at the artist run labels that are actual successes and you’ll see that they generally are not just sticking to releasing cds by thier immediate circle and branch out into othe genres. I mean ipecac started out just cause nobody would release the fantomas cd and i think it’s one of the best and more successful of the artist run labels.
ipecac is awesome.
if the double A team’s in austin, geez…i may well run into them. i don’t believe they’d spend the cash at this point.but there are upwards of 1800 shows before it’s done and over with… i guess they COULD convince someone to play their game.
i swore i wouldn’t attend anything, and then my phone rang to go to a party which may generate some biz for me, so what the heck. dave allen (gang of four) in atttendance. free crap like a sticker i picked up for “panty liners”. nice.
where the hell is mike judge when you need him. yeah. i’m “acquainted” with him too.
