Thoughts from Trent Reznor

Good to hear NIN is going the same way as we are. There is a revolution in the music industry & eb's on the front line of it. We're blessed to have the connection we have with the few people who already care about what eb does. I want all to feel a part of what we're doing. I don't wanna ask you all to help spread the word of eb; I want you all to wanna do that bc you wanna share with friends, bring them in so they're part of the eb community. We'll keep putting out righteous songs with the highest quality musicianship & lyrics & will continue to reward you who are already here with the most exclusive material and access to our process. All we ask in return is for you to sign up on everyboy.net. That'll make this community your community too. We'll climb this path together and amaze ourselves with the power of the internet to bring together like-minded souls. Step by step. One foot in front of the other. We'll climb this mountain and say what we have to say all the while. This is a community of warriors...warriors of the Light. eb is one of them. If you are too, or wanna strive to become one, join us on this visionquest. You will never regret it. This is a holy train bound for Glory. We're here to generate Light with each other & to spread that across the universe for the sake of all existence. Please join us today.

"Managers / booking agents / small labels
Any or all of these may be good for you - or not. Here's a truth: nobody knows what to do right now, me included. The music business model is broken right now. That means every single job position in the music industry has to re-educate itself and learn / discover / adapt a new way. Change can be painful and hard and scary. If any of these entities we're discussing are interested in you, ask them about their strategies IN DETAIL. None of them know for sure what to do. Some of them have an idea of how to negotiate these waters. Most of them don't. If you are young and use the internet, you know more about your audience than they do - for sure. This is a revolution and you can be a part of it. The old guard is dying, if you have good ideas - try them.
Bottom line - before getting involved with anyone else, ask yourself what it is they can clearly bring to your table and is it worth their cut. Do they know what they're talking about, and does their strategies match yours?

I have not gotten into the basics which I believe are self-evident: believe in what you do, do the best work you can, work hard, practice, practice more, find your voice, hone in on it, take chances, play live (if applicable), practice more, keep believing in yourself and prepare for the long haul."

Good point. Nowadays, all musicians need to be flexible and adjust to the new supply and demands of the fans... Good luck!
