where can I find the story again about how they started out (performing in dallas) and how they ended up on reprise?

my god, its the same label with neil young, sinatra, green day, smashing pumpkins, fleetwood mac/stevie nicks, muse and rem. I think hendrix used to be on it.

I don't mean to be a little fanboy of reprise but I just looked at their artist roster, and decided this label is about 94% of why i'm a musician.

3% the beatles
2% radiohead
1% tchaikovsky's 1812 overture
I suppose no one really cared to know the last 6%.

I think they picked Reprise. They did showcases for a bunch of the major labels and picked Reprise.

Quite a thread there. I loved gregor's comment "Everyone take a deep breath, count to ten, and repeat after me "I am not indier-than-thou." Laughing
