3. Boy oh (Tommy) Boy – 80% Of You Make Music That Is “Crap” ?

TuneCore CEO Jeff Price responds to founder, chairman, and CEO of Tommy Boy Records, Tom Silverman’s controversial statement:
“…80 percent of all records released are just noise — hobbyists. Some companies like TuneCore are betting on the long tail because they get the same $10 whether you sell one copy or 10,000,” he says. “Those are the people who are using TuneCore and iTunes to clutter the music environment with crap, so that the artists who really are pretty good have more trouble breaking through than they ever did before.”
Price defends the right of ALL artists to get their music into digital stores, no gatekeeper allowed.  He goes on to say that music download sales are up, not down, and now that all artists have access to distribution, listeners have the opportunity to discover more music that appeals to them.
