Ian Anderson started recording music when he was thirteen and launched his own successful label, Afternoon Records, in 2003, when he was just eighteen. Now this wunderkind of the indie music scene has written the ultimate guide for all those aspiring to a career in the record industry.Here Come the Regulars covers territory ranging from a label’s image to its budget, focusing on the importance of blogging culture and how to use new media like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and iTunes to the best advantage.
Aside from its essential advice—including a truthful account of the role of attorneys, contracts, and record deals—this accessible guide also contains key practical information ranging from sample legal agreements and press releases to actual figures illustrating how much money to spend on what (promotion, tour expenses, even T-shirts), all specifically geared toward the young upstart with very little in the bank.
As the front man for the indie-pop band One for the Team and the editor of the music blog MFR, Anderson demonstrates how an energetic and persevering small label can thrive in an era of big box stores and homogenized radio stations. Showing how to start with $500 and an office that’s the size of your bedroom closet because it is your bedroom closet, Here Come the Regulars will become the dog-eared, underlined bible on your nightstand. C
Anderson—who launched his own record label, Afternoon Records, in Minneapolis at 18 and is front man of the indie band One for the Team—details how to run an indie label from the ground up. He instructs readers on starting their own label, developing a budget, approaching potential artists, writing press releases, and more, also giving essential advice on contracts, record deals, and attorneys. In addition to the basics, he speaks to younger audiences with chapters discussing how to approach people without feeling slimy and saying no to friends. VERDICT The individual market niche—twenty- and thirtysomethings with upstart record labels or entrepreneurial dreams—sets this useful book apart from other how-to guides. For the growing pool of DIY hipsters.—Bradford Lee Eden, Univ. of California Lib., Santa Barbara

This was recommended reading for me, I WANTED to like this book, but it was absolutely horrible. If my husband had read it he would probably give up trying to get a job in the police force. It talks about nothing except the negatives with the job - and while I appreciate the blunt reality that the author chooses to show us - not every single point about this job has to be quite so negative and dramatic. I gave it two starts because every so often I would find a tiny nugget of useful information, but for the most part I would take this entire book with a grain of salt. Yes, sometimes people get divorced. Yes, it's a high stress job that involves a ton of different things that COULD potentially happen and go wrong. This book makes it sound like they WILL go wrong. That you WILL get divorced, your cop WILL have PTSD, your family WILL suffer, and nothing except professional help will cure any of it or save anyone.
Again, appreciate the sentiment, but it just goes away too far over the top in the opposite direction. I want to be prepared, not goaded into fearing everything before it has even started.
