When will Indies REALLY have a chance?

Indies might actually have a real chance at sales and radio play when it no longer makes sense for the majors to spend MILLIONS promoting a single song to radio.

Classic Track of the Week – Original Sin

I was talking about Jim Steinman the other day with my co-writer, Chris Williams… and this speck of a thought formed in the back of my mind… Didn’t Taylor Dayne do a Jim Steinman song back in the 90′s? I couldn’t come up with the name of the song, but I did remember it was from a “superhero” type movie …Read more »
