										Future of the music industry - Marillion's view...  7438  34

										Check this out. Marillion (remember them!) are working independent of any major record deal and yet they gate-crashed the UK singles charts this week at 7 (ahead of big label-promoted Franz Ferdinand & Pink among others). How did this happen Wait till you hear. It's all quite brilliant and - dare I say - even inspirational. It's all explained here in this article:

AN OPEN LETTER TO CATHY DAVEY,
I am writing as a longstanding fan of Nina Hynes. I have been to more of her concerts than I can count . Also, I have met someone who worked with you and confirmed that you are also a fan of Nina’s music. I am aware that doing interviews is a new thing for you so your words were probably twisted in the telling of your PR campaign.
 It seemed ludicrous however, in your Sunday Times interview , coming from someone who insists that she does not ... |  |  |  | 5 | 1859 | 4/23/2004 1:20 PM |

										The last few days I've been doing some online bookings and stuff to get me over to London to see Wilco do a gig in the Astoria this coming July.
It set me thinking, travelling a distance to see a band has to be the finest compliment you can pay an act. A far more powerful statement to make about what is important to you musically than just pointing to what sits on your CD shelf or in your MP3 folder.
So, what bands have people here gone to the trouble of travelling to see Or what bands wo... |  |  |  | 43 | 9491 | 4/21/2004 1:14 PM |

										Anyone buy her debut album 
For the uninitiated: Melissa Auf Der Maur played bass with Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins and has released her debut solo album.
I must confess to being disappointed. The album got good reviews and having seen the gorgeous Melissa on the Pumpkins farewell tour, I was more than favourably disposed to buying her debut album. Regrettably, I fear I'll be flogging it off to Freebird Records before long. She's a capable enough singer and all the ingredients are there... |  |  |  | 1 | 1359 | 4/20/2004 11:57 AM |
