oc (gamecock # Chuck D from page 7 said, alleging that the record companies change formats every several years to force fans to repurchase their music col lection. “The public has no choice when they bought that Marvin Gay album in 1971 for $6.99 and bought the same damn thing 20 years later for $ 17. The period of 1986 to 1997 was known as the Big CD Scam — a period that showed that artists weren’t going to get the big payday, on ly a select few. Executives would get the big pay day, with CDs going for 300 per cent on the dollar.” Chuck D has put his money where his mouth is in helping to found RapSta tion.com, a Web site dedicated to em powering rap acts from around the world. He said he measures the site’s success by the fear in Corporate Artierica’s eyes. “Three years ago I was crazy, two years ago I was sued, last year I was a par asitic threat and this year I was compe tition,” Chuck D said toward the end of his talk. The CMJ fest was proof that atten tion to independent music is growing, whether from the Internet, discontent with major record labels or otherwise. More than 51 clubs hosted shows during the four-day event, which ran from Oct. 19 to 22, and bands played to mostly ca pacity crowds huddled in venues from the spacious Bowery Ballroom to cozy Parkside Lounge. Only a few major label bands played the event, and many independent record labels — from Chicago’s Bloodshot to Olympia, Washington’s Kill Rock Stars to Wellington, Delaware’s Jade Tree - found they had sell-out crowd’s at the la bel showcases. Even former major label acts fared well at the fest. Jimmy Eat Wbrld, a Mesa, Ariz., band dumped by Capitol Records in 1999 after two poor selling albums, has a new home on the independent la bel Big Wheel Recreation and played to a sold-out crowd at CBGB’s. With the independent spirit in the air, many panelists remarked at the con vention’s surprising lack of attitude, which has almost become synonymous with ma jor labels. Independent record company owners mingled with college radio sta tion program directors, and the New York Time’s senior pop critic Ann Powers handed out free advice to college jour nalists. Many experts from the fest’s 50 pan els uiged students and attendees to ap proach them and ask for jobs, advice or both. Many did. But just as many atten dees took the independent spirit to heart and attended the conference to promote their own Web site, band or Internet ra dio station.
