eMusicBlast sounds cool and all …
but can’t the fans act as a better judge to whether or not the music/artists will last in the marketplace? Isn’t it a little late for this type of model?
eMusicBlast offers a solid scouting service to artists that don’t have the reach to get to those at the “top” of labels; I guess my question is whether or not bands should shell out $49 for “a promise” of “at least 30+ words of written feedback.” And I thought A&R people went out (in the real world or online) to find artists. Since when should the musicians be spending time paying an exec to listen, when they can be playing clubs and getting an exponential amount of fans live and online…?
Last time I checked, fans can give you more words and support than that on their own accord…I mean, they’re the ones that will still be spooning you at the end of a bad record deal or dropped option.
Let me know if I’m missing something. And I may be semi-embarrassed for the guys in this promo video. No offense…
