Economics of putting out a "record"

My friend Mark Samuels runs Basin Street Records out of New Orleans, LA. He published this amazingly candid blog post about the economics of creating and promoting music for his artists:

Basin Street Records blog post: Advanced Label Economics

Mark's blog really helped me understand why I plunk down $16 for CDs or $10 for digital downloads so frequently. Be sure to read the comments, as Mark also answered my question about digital distribution.

Anyway go out and listen to live music this weekend, and be sure to buy the artist's CD, as you are supporting an industry that needs your help to continue to produce innovative art.
