True that.
You could call any form of marketing as "force feeding", i think it's just about doing it with credibility.
Marketing such as spamming emails etc is something i do not have the time or energy for. All these fan pages etc, it's just not working for me atm, damn i must blog my myspace once every two months, if i don't have the energy to do that more often then how am i going to find the time and energy to go the whole hog?
It's all about the promo's and how i want my music to be released at the end of the day, definitely finding a system that works for me.
