doug osborne Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I listened to a couple of her songs, and I kind of liked them. Sorry, Marissa, I know a hundred, maybe a thousand other singer/songwriters who are at least a good as you. Get in line with the rest of us, work your ass off, stop living off of Daddy's money (just speculation), and learn the value of a dollar.

Super 8 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I wonder if she has sold anything? She has the right idea, in a way. You have to sell a lot of CD's at 10-15 bucks to make a living. At the prices she is charging, she is taking into account the low number of sales she'd probably get at any price. I think she figures its about patronizing the arts. I wish her well, but I doubt she'll make any sales at that price. Super 8 Hear my stuff here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusker Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 At least she has the guts to try something different. She won't succeed IMO, but I gotta give her credit for audacity. :thu: :thu: Extra credit for lunacy. :thu: :thu: :p Jean Michel Jarre did a limited pressing for a charity once. I think it was $1000 per LP. The promise was that these songs would not appear on any other records ever. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Ya know, though...her marketing ploy works. You know why? Because, she realizes no one's gonna buy a CD at those prices (except her rich Aunt Agnes). But...how do you make someone listen to your stuff? Say "My stuff is great...listen" or "I'm selling CDs for 100 bucks and they're worth it". Do the psychology. EVERYONE HERE listened to her stuff. Everyone was morbidly curious as to whether some mystic siren had the power to give us a sonic "eargasm" worth 100 bucks with her voice and musical prowess. So, whether or not you thought it was worth 100 smackers, you listened, and perhaps when, in another month or two she starts offering her music for a more reasonable price, we'll have heard it.

ViLo Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hey! Marissa! SO you woke up one day and said, "I'm going to be rich, YEAH! I have an idea I will sell my CD's for $100.00 I'll be rich in one month" "I'll promote myself on all the forums I can find on the net, all this people are morons that will buy anything anybody throw a them" right??

Rick K. Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Kinda reminds me of that Jack In the Box commercial where this kid was a 'taste tester' and he charged a huge fee.

techristian Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 It is actually psychology that she is pulling on us. If her CD has a SRP of $100 then she sells it for $20 "on sale" people will be storming the record stores to get it.

Ed A. Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Nice marketing gimmick she came up with. She will probably not sell any of her music at $100 a CD, but she created a buzz about her music that has people going to her site to listen. Pretty clever idea.

The Studio Pet-Rock Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 On her site, she says: [quote]Where are the scientists? Why are people giving all their money to pop culture, when the amphibians are mutating and they are being born deformed. We very serious environmental problems. What do we do? We go give our money to a bunch of nobodies...[/quote]With this in mind, then, wouldn't it be better for all of us here to send contributions to the science folk - as apposed to spending $100 on a freakin' CD? :freak: With a $100 price tag, she shuts out a lot of the people who might actually give a damn.

SolipsismX Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 this girl is not very smart. Her gig section is just a giant unorganized rant. One of the funniest quotes she has at the end is: "Meanwhile, why don't people respect nature? If they can't respect nature, how are they going to respect real talent?" the funniest moment though is her conclusion that people watch tv because they can't handle relationships... "I am also suprised that people buy all this "so called" entertainment. Why can't they entertain themselves and interact with others? All this impersonal spying and voyerismic obsession is a sign that people can't cope with relationships. They are not strong enough to love other people? They are shallow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
