Notes From Ralph[]
"...on one hand, they were so unskilled musically, they kind of felt like 'well, nobody's going to take us that seriously anyway,' you know, in terms of like a record label, 'so we really have to do this ourselves'. And in retrospect, there's a lot of plus to that, and there's a certain downside too... Well, unfortunately you have to do it all, but at the same time there can be a certain advantage to having bigger companies with more resources invested in your product. That can give it more exposure and that can give it more longevity, so it's not like working with a big company is necessarily a bad thing."
"The thing that I think is most interesting about the music business now, you know, it used to be there were all these gatekeepers. Labels, primarily. But you know, you could also put radio stations in that same category to some extent. And if your music didn't fit within a certain category, or appeal to a certain demographic, there was no way you was ever gonna go anywhere. And you know, the internet has enabled access to everything. And also too, the tools have become so accessible at this point, you can make an album on a phone... But the flipside of that is that... you can now be a needle in the haystack, but the haystack is the size of the sun, you know? So, how you get your stuff heard, seen, noticed, becomes a totally different challenge."
