On the second one, many more people said to write a book. I really wrote it off with the first few comments but now that many people are mentioning it, it has my brain working.
I was thinking it's not really necessary to write a book and would only be of limited use to people, but enough people mentioned it that my ears pricked up. Same sort of situation happened with the Blood Music shirts long ago. Godflesh on here told me multiple times to make them, and I swatted the idea away thinking no one would care. Eventually a few more people asked for them, so I tried it and it's to date the best selling piece of merch (non-record related) the label has produced. So, maybe sometimes it's hard to see my own label's self-worth.
In any case, should I really consider writing a book? It wouldn't just be the mundane nitty gritty of the label but mixing some of that in with philosophy and theory and experience. I wanna say the label is too young for it, but it has risen so quickly that I might have something useful to share.
I think this is an interesting idea and worth exploring. You'll probably get a lot of people dooming this idea if you're going to pursue it, but you're bound to get that reaction from certain people no matter what you do, so to hell with them!
