SHIT. Its Wednesday and I forgot til just now.
What a NARM hangover we have when Staind tops our chart and Tommy Lee tops the AIMS chart. Wow.
Seriously, this was a really great NARM year for us. Generally very productive when we were afforded conversations. What is not productive is watching all of the video reels in every suite. I swear it felt like we were watching the exact same presentation over and over and over. Groundhog day indeed. But, the point is not the cookie cutter A&R (which is a big problem) but why indie retail comes to NARM.
Many of our owners do not have access to national people for a real conversation. Many of our owners can’t really afford to come to NARM. So, when a meeting is 80% product presentation, it is tough to justify. These guys could watch the same video at home and would! I think next year our format will be for the major labels to bring us THREE bands max that you want to find ways for us to break. And the format for the major distributors will be to have policy conversations and big picture predictions from the Presidents.
The indie distributors and labels were better at this with us considering the number of labels they represent. In those meetings, the diverse music played really was great. However, we do need more talking. And creative thinking.
Again, I get the impression that all of my folks had a very productive NARM.
We are going to strive to deliver even more folks next year. But, one thing is for sure. If your meeting with us was the same meeting you had with Wal-mart then we are not gonna solve anything. Lets work on this!
And last but not least, hats off to the fine job that Jim Donio and crew did this year. Not that NARM is flawless, but, it is one smooth convention. That ain’t easy and they make it look like it is!
