Hi Moe. I was responding to the overall tone of your post. I respect the place you are in right now, I’ve been there myself. My commentary was to prove that people are listening very closely to what you write and not just retweeting your words. I went back to review your post again and you’re right, we do agree on most things. Here is where we differ: The 5M or so independent artists online are not sheep, but in fact real people looking for direction. Saying, “Be a leader”, just isn’t good enough. I don’t think you’re readers are looking for THE answer, but instead AN answer that they can tailor to their own situation…as I was when I started my blog. Don’t stop posting. Your flock (wait…scratch that) Your people need you.

Good post Kevin. Regarding your comment about my post; you may have misunderstood my point. I didn’t state that ALL music marketing advice is bullshit; I wrote that there’s very few real leaders (meaning there still is some great advice), but just too many fake experts spewing nothing but buzzwords.

I also went on to explain that even though that is the case, the bigger issue is not the wannabe experts, it’s the artists who follow every marketing trend and forget to focus on the thing that matters the most – their music.

I’m not sure how you saw my post as a “cop out” but after reading yours, I believe we’re actually on the same page about the issue. My post may have just been misinterpreted.

I’m feeling the post. I believe there has to be balance in this whole independent marketing campaign. Music should always be the focus, but when its not, planning helps avoid that mistake. I learned my lesson.

Quality improved The more I focused on making music. Once you have a mix you feel hyped about, you will want to do the marketing. The studio can provide momentum.
