Saw the Indie film, "Firewall of Sound", at the
"Modern Film Fest".
"FoS" is of interest to music fans and musicians.
The film is based on interviews of musicians, bands, small label owners, and "record" store owners, and their commentaries about the digital music age.
They also reveal valuable insights into the promotion and sales of music.
Surprisingly, there are 1 man "Labels". Also new vinyl pressings are on the upsurge.
One enlightening scene was a running counter, detailing a band earning minimum wage for a month, based on various sales of "media".
'Media" such as CDs, online media sources, ex. iTunes, Pandora.
This info was culled from
"Nielson's Sound Scan".
Great film. Check it out. Jamie
