Spinal Tap '99. Driving the kids' car pools and playing golf was fun this summer. I could get into a leisurely pace with some geographic change, say to the Napa Valley. In 1995, returned to promotion at Trauma Records, then joined the Epitaph Cavalcade of Stars last year. Major labels have major budgets, assistants, field staffs, bureaucracy and a lack of maneuverability.
Indie labels have elbow grease and ingenuity necessity is the mother of invention.
Plus, job satisfaction I love Epitaph because artist development is number one on the list of priorities. We try to make career decisions as opposed to snap decisions. So in moving to a major, I found the resources plentiful, and the transition to EMI was very easy. Geffen was like going to finishing school. When I returned to the Alternative format, I found a brand new world.
