JK2006	But actually low percentages were the norm; I got 2% for Everyone's Gone To The Moon. Most genuine music artistes are happy just to make and release music and see it break; the greater the greed for cash, the lower the creative juice flow. In my experience.

Kenney Queen's Mean Music Machine	And what about those daft artists letting two 18 year old kids sell their music for 20% of the profits - or is that normal in the cut throat world of muzak? I didn't even get the impression as a record label, that they had financed the recordings either. What was it they were paying for web hosting - £2.59 per month? And what about plugging and promotion? Did they have proper contracts with their artists? But seriously, was all this going to happen from a desk in one of their bedrooms...
JK2006	Hilary is magnificent and talks a lot of sense - you're right; with that smokey, croaky deep voice, she'd sell millions.
Prunella Minge	I think Hilary Devey should record an album of her own in time for Christmas - a couple of Lotte Lenya and Johnny Cash songs, a cover of Wandering Star, Bette Davis Eyes and maybe a Gracie Fields medley... it would probably chart in these sad Cowell days!
