Why do this?
Well, 2025 happened…
On one hand we saw many of the new releases we worked on stream into the millions in record time. And a number of songs from years past demonstrated remarkable staying power and resurgence, tipping over into Gold status this year (with many more right behind them). Those are huge accomplishments for niche, DIY-focused creators! It feels punk as heck to see these self-funded artists sucking some actual significant money out of the evil streaming enshittifactory and back into their local economies. And because these are moral, community focused, arts-supporting people, that money overwhelmingly tilts toward locally owned businesses. You could even call that activism.
But on the other hand, I know of a number of amazing projects that didn’t get finished this year, because the budget just wasn’t there, grant support didn’t come through, and the cost of, well, everything, made it too much of a stretch. Or other projects that got released, but perhaps in a less than optimal final form, and faded into that soul crushing liminal state between the initial spark of an idea and its less than fully realized execution.
And the sad reality is that we’ll likely never know how many of those projects could have also been the million streamers of this year, and niche Gold records of 10 years from now.
Throughout my life and career I’ve looked to the art and writing and interviews of my heroes for guidance and solidarity - David Lynch, Jello Biafra, Steve Albini, and so many more. Lately it's been Martin Atkins that’s been resonating, and I’m taking a page out of his work with the Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music and trying a crazy experiment to see if we can get a few folks over the hump this coming year to make the records that’ve been itching at their subconscious.
The 30/60/90 pre-sale works like this - you choose the discount you want based on your need. 30% is for everyone, but if 60% is what you need to get your project done, then go for it without hesitation! And I’m quoting Martin here because he said it perfectly - “Use the 90% if times are tough (they will get better!!). If it’s not an absolute necessity, please consider leaving it on the table for someone else. Be nice - we’re trying to help! If you’re doing well and don’t need any kind of discount on anything, then please consider paying full price to re-balance this crazy equation we’ve created!”
Thank you everybody for all you do to aid and abet the righteous wrath of the counterculture, the world needs it now more than ever.
