ok lets go at it again: mabye some bands pay their way to get on the radio but most bands get on the radio because they become trendy and is what the listening audience wants to hear.
i believe popular stations... get told what to play by independant promoters who are paid fees by record companies, for the most part... there are exceptions of course. and then that's when they become trendy. otherwise the radio wouldn't suck
Ok you mentioned the shirts being 15, ok about those shirts that are 15, those are the ugly shirts taht no one wants, so therefore they have to sell them at a cheaper price. But look at the black goldfinger skullkie, the popular one - $20, its not made any different from the rest of them, except that it doesnt look like crap. Ok about the cd costing 18, i admit that i was wrong (although the foot in mouth was being sold for $20 at their show when it was first released, but they must have lowered it on their website), but abotu the goldfinger and reel big fish concert, that was not $20, that was $28 and i rememeber that when i bought the ticket off the interent, it came to a total of $35 with the fees and stuff, so it was defntly not 20. Not sure about the bloodhound gang one, but not the reel big fish tour. But again if we go back to the other bands, midtown for example (i was wrong on their prices), they are selling the cd off their label for 12 shipped! and you can pick it up at the warehouse for 11.00 w/o tax. Plus i remember that the last midtown show i went to with dashboard confessional (2 big bands for that matter) it was 20 total off tickets.com so subtracting the fees it must have been around 14 dollars. Either way you look at it, goldfinger charges more for their stuff.
well you can't blame goldfinger for t-master's crappiness... but anyways, i agree they do charge more, but what i'm saying is that it isn't outrageous.
anyways, it's pointless to argue... like i said, i doubt either of us knows enough to make these judgements.
