Things You Don't Want to Know Vol. 43

On the subject of demo CD's.
Now, I'm not trying to say that my band is better than anyone else's. I've shoved demo CD's into hands which I'm sure took a trip to the nearest garbage can. But, that's my point, sometimes making and handing out demo CD's of your band would be just as effective as throwing money directly into the garbage. I'm not saying that you shouldn't do it. I still do. Just be aware of what's really going on. As I have seen your demo CD thrown from the windows of moving vehicles. I have seen their cases used to roll joints. I have seen them grow mold under piles of sweaty show shirts in corners of tour vans. I shit you not I have seen your demo CD in a microwave. I have seen them broken, defiled, battered, and belittled. And for all these things I've seen I've rarely seen them get played. Maybe it shouldn't be this way. But....It is.
