.:+>come on by monday. the numbers say that records sales don't support many 
.:+>bands. fewer that 5% see any $$$ at all. those see mostly a small advance.

.:+And go to their shows. And tell friends about them. Promote/support 
.:+bands however seems fit to you. I have friends who, honestly, get songs 
.:+online just to out the album or band and then go buy it if they like 
.:+it. Kudos to that. 

.:going to the shows is the best way to get money into the bands pockets.

Better still, go to the show and buy the cds *from* *them*.  You'll 
pay a little less for it, and they[*] get a little more.  You might even 
have the chance to get them signed.

[*] I should do some research; I'm hoping that Tim O'Brien got more of my 
$15 when I bought from him after the show last Thursday than he would've 
if I'd bought it from ye-olde-CD-retailer.
