Ok, I'm really not trying to go back and forth with this. You have your opinion and thats cool, I'm not trying to change it. But I will say this, there are some artists out here that I think should have been signed, they've been out here doing shit for years, pushing CD's out the trunk, doing tons of shows, with lots of fans but haven't been. But I don't think that that should take away from someone elses success just becuase you haven't heard of them. As far as supporting the Northwest music scene, there have been many times I've bought a cd from someone outside a club that I had no idea who they were. I bought it cause thats how I support the cause among going to shows and putting people on my shows. Now I'm not telling people to go buy a cd's and shit, all I'm saying is support local music!!! If you don't like a certain artist it dosn't mean that there aren't going to be millions of people who do. But as a region, I think instead of saying "man..how did THEY get signed" or "man them dudes suck" or whatever, we should be supporting each other instead of trying to tear them down. As far as the industry not caring about the Northwest I think that will change once we have aritsts coming out from here that can sell millions of records. They will have no choice but to pay attention. And with every artist that makes moves it gets us one step closer. I thought thats what we were all trying to work towards.
