I have the perfect scenario. When Mark Hosler (Negativland) was in Texas last February, he described a situation where an ad firm solicited Negativland to do the music for a big-time corporate product. They were offered a boat load of cash and full artistic control. Despite lingering legal bills and other life expenses, Negativland turned it down. If they did do it, it would contradict everything they stand for. On the other hand, it would provided them with respite from some nagging financial problems. Other groups don't have this issue to deal with (overt political stances, etc.) but its an example of the type of decisions groups are forced to make. -----Original Message----- From: eric hill <xxxxx@xxxx.xxx> To: xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> Date: Sunday, June 06, 1999 11:50 AM Subject: Re: (idm) The real reason why ads use so much electronic music >the interesting thing about the article that rodney posted was that it >describes the process from the advertiser's decision to use a form of >music, not from the musician-being-used can o' worms. > >eric, who doesn't bring anything up that he wouldn't debate > >onnow: gerhard potuznik : concorde (cheap) >
