  3. Cat stickers! I have some left overs from the anime con. I’m wondering if I should try to sell them online? It seems too expensive to pay shipping just for a sheet of stickers. What if I put together some kind of goodie bag with other stuff? Would people be interested in that?

    ever since you started talking about this, i started looking for a direct-buy option for bands, but most of them seem to just encourage you to get it form itunes. : / even rare bands. even bands that broke up ten years ago? <_ > ??????

    Yeah, I’ve seen similar frustration. Like Ex-Girl I just mentioned, they were released by Alternative Tentacles, but Alternative Tentacles sells through iTunes which seems pretty bogus considering it’s Jello Biafra’s record label. I didn’t start using iTunes until this month, I had no idea it was this bad.

    You can purchase Susumu Hirasawa’s music directly from him.

    And…now I’m looking into Tzadik Records. Gonna send them a query and ask how much they pay their artists.

    Bloody baby Jesus, that’s fucked up. Ok, yeah. I won’t be buying anything from itunes anymore. I got an ipod for my birthday and so I bought this Ex-Girl album that I really wanted to purchase legitimately but …wow.
    I’ve been using Bandcamp a lot recently, but obviously they won’t have everyone. Other suggestions?

    They are getting no more than a few cents for every purchase.
    Any recommendations for alternatives? I love Jun Togawa but I have no way to throw money at her :’[

  9. If I buy an album from iTunes, is the musician actually getting any of the money? I would buy directly from the artists, but in many cases I couldn’t find their private online stores.

  10. Update The joke is that I care too much about art history.
