About this listen
The Dark Side of Indie Survival is informative, entertaining, and a pleasure to listen to. People everywhere in the world are trooping into the entertainment industry to find a spot for themselves. This is because the entertainment industry has proven to be very enterprising and profitable. However, many people give up before achieving anything tangible because they fail to get signed by a big record label. Getting signed by a record label is not a bad idea; however, being an independent artist isn't less profitable. Being by yourself without getting the support that you see others get might be very discouraging. That is how the situation was in the past, before the digitization of the music industry through technology. In this book, I examined indie music's evolution and the differences between a record label artist and an independent artist.
This book also examines the sometimes overwhelming challenges of an indie artist. The various emotional, professional, and marketing strategies that an artist may face by himself or herself are extensively discussed and analyzed. As an aspiring independent artist or musician or a music fan who may know indie artists and musicians, you will find this valuable book in your struggle to build a name against the odds or get a better understanding of the indie life. The book explains the three categories of challenges and explains the fundamental methods of coping and developing as an indie musician. It teaches indie musicians, their extended fan base, families, and friends what it takes and means to do it all themselves in today's modern world and in a pandemic.

Writing a blog post is a little like driving; you can study the highway code (or read articles telling you how to write a blog post) for months, but nothing can prepare you for the real thing like getting behind the wheel and hitting the open road. Or something. A blog (shortening of “weblog”) is an online journal or informational website displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with the latest posts appearing first. It is a platform where a writer or even a group of writers share their views on an individual subject.

Story
The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Asians in MN! I loved it. The vivid sounds of Northern Minnesota totally took me there, and I was hooked into the mystery.
