“Selling It Versus Selling Out” is an alternative approach to the dusty music business books you’ve seen before.
If you’ve ever read a music business article and wondered, “Well that’s interesting, but what does it have to do with me?” – this is the book for you.
Spanning 26 essays, “Selling It Versus Selling Out” integrates a music business mindset with a musician’s world-view in a seamless way. It offers music business advice that applies to daily real-word dilemmas faced by working musicians.

An Indie Musician Wake Up Call” (Aka What Louis CK, Amanda Palmer, David Lowery and Emily White Really Means For The Working Musician) is a prog rock manifesto delivered as a punk rock intervention.
The book is comprised of two related essays that address the real impact that Amanda Palmer’s recent Kickstarter campaign and Louis CK’s crowdfunding release has on working musicians (hint: not much), and the REAL problem musicians face with the David Lowery/Emily White NPR debacle (hint – it’s not strictly file sharing).
An Indie Musician Wake Up Call is a rallying cry for real steps musicians will need to take in the 21st century to move forward and establish their careers.
