i'm having one of those days...

[deadair]

where i seriously wonder if doing the web site is worth while...

because.

1) it's a lot of work
2) there are 2901097502 other sites just like it
3) it's a lot of work
4) still not getting paid

 

[avi]

been there, done that

 

[goatschool]

jake, reiterate what your goals were for making the site in the first place.

it wasn't strictly to make money, was it?

 

[deadair]

no no... it wasn't.

but, with the work load... it's a little disheartening that i can't even GIVE away MP3 links. sometimes i just get frustrated.

 

[goatschool]

yeah, i understand this. i think about destroying the label almost daily.

it gets tough when you have so much work invested, and like what you've made, but then also think about the beauty in dismantling it.

 

[deadair]

i think most of my malevolent thoughts are because of option (reason) 2

 

[avi]

just remember that along with reason #2 - most of those sites are frickin' awful

 

[deadair]

yea, i know.

still makes me think "what's the point" though. like, i always wonder "maybe people like shitty web sites"

 

[chupe666]

have you thought about emailing bands we dig to put up stuff that's maybe just on their mp3.com sites, just to get the ball rolling?

 

[lizard]

I'll bet Power of Omens would go for it.

they've been open to a variety of suggestions regarding files and vids, and they could use the exposure.

 

[deadair]

yea eric, i've e-mailed a bunch of labels/bands... slow response.

lizard - just tell them to e-mail me

 

[lizard]

done, I've posted your info on their board. chin up dude, you've gotta believe the quality of your work will eventually eclipse the average.
