themean Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Holy shit, kickstarter is the worst idea ever. Save up your money and release your own record. Also, this is dumb: Twothirtyeight is one of those rare bands that accrued a huge following and yet never went mainstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielcraig Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 i think that people are just wary of the kickstarter deal. i can't stress this enough. this is going to happen. I'm saving everything i can to pick up the slack of everything else. It will be made. People have to just pledge. Its cheaper to pledge now and buy a copy than it will be to buy a copy once they're in hand. That $15 pledge is record plus shipping. how can you go wrong with that.

steviex2shoes Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I don't really understand, this whole kickstarter thing is just basically a pre-order, why the harshness? When everyone pre-orders a record no problem normally. I wonder if he would have gotten crap as much if he just posted a pre-order on their webstore?

Save up your money and release your own record.Also, this is dumb: hey guy... thems muh words.... this is my dream. why you gotta shit on it? your dream is to run a "record label" that requires people to pledge money in order to be able to put out releases? sounds familiar... and you saw how that worked out. you have no sense of history and have no grasp of how record labels operate. this "dream" will end after the debacle that is sure to ensue with this garbage release.

scotterson Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I don't really understand, this whole kickstarter thing is just basically a pre-order, why the harshness? Agreed. I have no problem fronting money to help get a record released that I would most certainly order anyway. And if this doesn't work out, I will be bummed, but won't be out any cash.

mattisr1984 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 to be fair, ive seen other small labels use kickstarter without nearly as much as whining. that said, using kickstarter isnt much different than opening say a free bigcartel store and just taking preorders. you get 5 free items on bigcartel so you could easily put those 4 package deals up which is basically all those really are. anyway, im fuzzy on how the whole kickstarter thing works anyway. what happens if you dont reach your goal by the end date? does the money just get refunded or what?

scotterson Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The backers don't get charged until the end date, and only get charged if the goal is reached. It's really a win win, just potentially disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one pays money up front. It's a "pledge". If and only if the goal is reached, then money is taken, if it doesn't reach the goal, no one is charged. As of right now. No money has exchanged hands.

danielcraig Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 i'm glad that i inspired you to come out of lurking and actually post something dude. And my dream isn't to run a record label, my dream is to see this amazing record get a proper vinyl release. and to those people who share that dream with me, this is our best opportunity at the moment. take your elitist bullshit elsewhere. This will happening no matter how many of the trolls come out to shit on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
