That's good, because they are free to do whatever they want. It also means that bands don't cross borders, don't do international tours, and stay outside from MTV and Grammy awards.
It's bad for their pockets. They have a hard life. But invariably, if they sign a contract, they end ruined in oblivion.

^ That`s very interesting, because it`s not generally the same in the USA and Europe, as far as I know. Maybe the big labels there have learned to be more flexible and tolerant. I guess some more radical musicians/audience feel that big-label signing is a sell-out, but I think that kind of success is usually respected.
I hope to come back to this thread later to check out your latest posts.
Any more Juana Molina ?
