  1. Midem coverage here. LINK is not working. BTW the reason that the Indie’s are showing up at Midem is that the Major Labels are MultiNational Corporations “MNC” that have no desire to export USMADEMUSIC.
    In fact they’ve haliburtionized the entertainment sector just like they have been doing to every other US Made industry (That’s what MNC do……) and the US goes on entertaining our economy to death.
    Buy Indie Support Locals~ it’s worth billions to our economy.
