harsh? your joking, there's no harshness in the whole thread. Just the usual honesty, nothing out of the ordinary there, ive wished him good luck, totally, but no point in having other options if there not explained is there? as said, there's no doubt a number of labels who would of took the tracks and it wouldnt of cost him a penny, it sounds like he had it hard getting the money together as we all would, and releasing tracks without the pressure of all your money in the world ploughed into it would help the artist improve certainly, if its not great you can look back and see why, and without a big hole in your pocket

i just dont personally think a brand new label in an already saturated market is helpful regardless, in my opinion of course

ive wished him luck so there's no problem
