JUST WHEN YOU BEGIN TO THINK THINGS ARE CHANGING, THEY TAKE A RIGHT TURN AND GET WEIRD

IT HAS JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED THAT AC-DC WILL RELEASE THEIR FIRST ALBUM IN 8 YEARS, EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH US CHAIN STORE GIANT WAL-MART. ANY MUSIC RETAILERS WHO WANT TO STOCK THE ALBUM CAN BUY THEM OVER THE COUNTER AT WAL-MART! THE EAGLES DID SOMETHING SIMILAR. THE GROUP IS PAID SOMETHING LIKE $30 MILLION UPFRONT, FOR THE DEAL, AND SO MUCH PER RECORD. WITH OTHER MARKETING SYSTEMS FOR UNSIGNED BANDS, LIKE SELLABAND, ALREADY ON THE SCENE, THE MAJOR RECORD COMPANIES ARE LOOKING EVEN MORE NON VIABLE.
