Production costs for big money music companies and production costs for Ani
Difranco are vastly different. IOW, it doesn't *need* to be expensive, the
music companies just make it that way. Expensive lunch meetings,
entertainment, treating artists like they were sooo special, advances, all
of this is non-essential stuff for the business of making music and
bringing it to todays market.

All you need today, is a friend in the media business and a little
imagination. Look at what Murdock did with myspace after he bought it,
nobody heard of it before that but a couple court cases and poof it's all
over the news with more visitors than google. If that man got into the
music business, he would turn it on it's ear.
