Have you checked out any of the bands that my record label release?
I founded Analog Revolution 10 years ago, with a little zine, a handful of printed top CD-Rs and real-time dubbed tapes in a little room off the side of an all ages DIY venue in Kennesaw GA.
These days, we still have the zine and the printed top CD-Rs (now with robotic duplication) plus way more tapes, and Vinyl.
We release music from the likes of @DoctorDeathray and Hurly Burly and the Volcanic Fallout, and The New Clear Lawn Chairs and Eli Pop and Red Hot Empty and Small (and soon, Pharmacy and Michael Cera Palin and who knows who else?)
Especially in times like these, when sales are slow (and therefore things are hard), it does me some good to look back at where we came from and realize how lucky we are.
Everyone is struggling, everywhere is struggling, we're not unique in that respect.
But we have a huge, very supportive community. We're releasing music from wonderful people.
I'm lucky enough to exist in a time when I can run a television network on a shoestring budget. Where no one can stop me from pressing records and publishing magazines and writing books.
I'm lucky enough to have a little bookstore in the middle of the mountains where I get to spend my day surrounded by nature and people I love.
