You probably won't be surprised by much in this story, but you probably will shake your head and sigh: "People in the record industry are very good at making bands believe they deserve the hundreds of thousands (or sometimes millions) of dollars labels advance the musicians when they're first signed, and even better at convincing those same musicians it's the bands' fault when those advances aren't recouped."

But how else would we have 25,000 rock, pop, and hip hop songs about getting screwed by your record company?
This certainly helps soothe my guilty downloading conscience.
I feel good about myself for purchasing Cereal Killers back in the day.
