On next week’s episode of the Upward Spiral Podcast, Incubus manager Steve Rennie will be joining the show to share his experience and
expertise, having been around long enough to witness several defining moments in
the music business that aided in the transition from yesterday’s ‘old’ music industry
to today’s ‘new’ one. As part of his Renman Music & Business web series for
aspiring musicians and music professionals, Steve shares a piece of advice for today’s
music artist: “Fuck the gatekeepers!”

I understand his point but I kind of see things the other way around. The “Gatekeepers” are saying FUCK YOU ARTIST do something before you’re worthy of us. Record companies aren’t creating shortcuts.
Pretty sure Steve Rennie made (and continues to make) his living off the backs of gatekeepers.
