# As long as you

# Ah but if I'm starting a record label
then I get the right to sit there and poo-poo other people's music and laugh and snort coke and steal their ideas.

What a job. WHAT a job.

# Actually i think the job now
is to churn out plastic Barbie/Ken bands doing covers or get someone to talk, sorry rap, over music from 30 years ago then whine that people are killing music by file sharing it.

# Well, I can do all of that, too
That's *easy*.

In all seriousness it can't be hard to start a record label. I mean, Forward, Russia (no, sorry, upside-down exclamation mark Forward, Russia!) did it and they were an inbred pack of fucking retarded chumps who wrote really, really rubbish music.

You're not in Forward, Russia, are you? I don't think I'll be able to release your music if you are.

# I'm not with any label, and never was
it was only ever a hobby and a bit of pin money; I did some session singing but really i was only ever resteraunt/hotel lobby class. I've retired now but still have a load of old demos*

*on 78s

# Get those demos onto a computer
and start flogging them through iTunes. Unless Apple have stopped us being able to sell stuff through iTunes, in which case let's set up a small record label and register to flog them through iTunes.

# Ha! I mave made some of my vids to them
But only covers, and they have all bindun, and far better. I will make my fortune elsewhere, methinks.

# Vids, eh?
I believe* if you've got a record label, you can charge YouTube for video showings.

1) Upload vids
2) Set browser to watch videos a million times
3) Profit

* This may not be true but it'd be nice if it was.

# Ha! foiled again
I have 80 vids posted, not all mine, and I'm at just under 2 million views, for the lot. At a tenth of a penny per view, we will be poor a looooong time.

# That's still two grand
Minus the record company's cut, you might see a few hundred bob. Better than a smack in the mouth on a dark night, eh?
