INPUT NEEDED
29 December 2009 at 5:39pm
Hey guys,
Just planning out what we'll be featuring in Tearaway each month in 2010. What are the big issues to you right now? What do you want to see in the magazine? All ideas welcome!
ED =)

Hi Ed maybe an article on fees charged on local gigs are they fair ? maybe an explanation of why local bands charge etc
Cost of Pa hire,Advertising the gig (posters) etc
What would people think is a fair charge to see 3 bands at there local etc etc -

Another issue is the plethora of music on the net with the Major labels scrambling to find ways of grabbing the internet dollar has it all just become a large mess ? should the CD single come back into stores with links to that bands site, would that make it easier/convenient to find new music ?

Another thing that has bothered me is the Music charts Independent or top 40.
I might be wrong but how does a unheard of artist all of a sudden appear in the charts ?...I know how its supposed to work (based on consumer sales) but does it really work like that ? how can it ? when a newly released artist all of a sudden is charting, yet the Album has just hit the stores ? did we all just go out and buy the album that day ?Am I wrong ?
A examination of how it actually works would be a cool article.

the charts are supposed to be done on a % of play vs sales....yet this is where it gets dodgy,
sales = how many copies of albums are shipped to stores, which arent actually sales at all. So
when you read that some hotshot band has shipped 2 million copies, that means theres 2 million
copies sitting in shops, they arent sold at all - but the major record companies will tick them off
as having left their warehouse so they must have been sold. its all a blatant con really...and
don't even get me started on airplay..... -

well, isnt it just wicked to have a primo company (start up company so make sure you support them!) that will give the best part of around 90% of the revenue generated from sales to the actual bands!
read this article to find out more!!
