I'd love to be a pie.

I got tired of this argument a long time ago. The music industry you just described isn't some sort of utopia; it exists. There is the possibility to be completely indepent and having little to no creative booby traps: it's called recording yourself. Obviously you shouldn't expect a massive increase in your popularity or a radio hit (instantly), but it's as personal and independent as it gets.
