To put this into perspective: Since we own our own recordings, by my calculation it would take songwriting royalties for roughly 312,000 plays on Pandora to earn us the profit of one –one– LP sale. (On Spotify, one LP is equivalent to 47,680 plays.)
Making Cents – Damon Krukowski of Galaxie 500 and Damon & Naomi breaks down the meager royalties currently being paid out to bands by streaming services and explains what the music business’ headlong quest for capital means for artists today.

We should all be rolling our eyes, and scoffing and saying, “Come back when you’re serious.”
My t-shirt sales data analysis has revealed that Casiotone for the Painfully Alone fans are statistically smaller than Advance Base fans.
I really wanted to make the worst thing, the thing that even people who liked bad, terrible music wouldn’t like, the stuff that people would ignore, always. Something really, really stupid. Something that is destined for failure.
