I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.
Aimee Mann
Image

I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
Aimee Mann

Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.

I certainly understand that we're all trying to make a living, but I'm not thinking about that when I'm making it. And if that's your sole motivation, it's going to reflect that narcissistic greed and you're going to hear it in the music.

If you're an artist trying to put out your own record on your own label, it's hard to get a distribution deal because no one wants to sign a deal with one entity. They want to sign distribution deals with labels, who have lots of product, lots of artists.
