3 THINGS I *HATE* ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY (and 3 things I love about it)

The 3 things I absolutely HATE about the music industry, and 3 things that I really, really love about the music business!

I've seen things from a few angles, having worked at big companies (design + marketing at Abercrombie & Fitch), agencies (did product design work for Febreze, Swiffer, and more) and now having worked with bands, producers, labels, gear companies and other parts of the music business for the last 6 or 7 years at CreativeLive and now URM Academy (as well as freelancing for bands like A Day To Remember, Periphery, Issues, and Intervals).

Today I talk about what I've come to love and hate about the music business, including:

- The ridiculous level of unprofessionalism in the music industry (everybody is flakey and unreliable)

- Why so, so many people in the music business are just flat out bad at their jobs compared to their counterparts at a big company

- The sad reality that the music industry pays really badly vs the same job at a bigger company like Starbucks or Microsoft (related to the above point)

- Why working in the music industry can actually ruin music for you, because you'll often end up meeting people in your favorite bands and finding out that they actually suck as humans

- The flip side: that you'll also come to appreciate music, events, etc in a whole new way once you get a look behind the scenes of how they're created

- Why the fact that I get to work with my friends on cool stuff outweighs all the crappy parts of the music industry!
