i don't understand some of the stuff on kickstarter that has like $10,000+ in funding. i thought people were poor now.

the whole IDEA of kickstarter is that you can raise that kind of money from a large number of people who might only be able to individually contribute in the single or double digits, dude

how much money do you think i could make with a kickstarter to never post on ilx ever again?

not as much as some people!

come on, you can do it.
I want all my favorite bands to go on Bandcamp. I like that Relapse has all their bands on Bandcamp. However, their $10 price point is too high. I can hold out and often get the CD for that much or less used or at a show. I think a good model would be $5 to $7 for established bands, and choose yr price for new bands seeking an audience. I think I've convinced a couple bands to get on the Bandcamp wagon. 2 down, thousands to go.

That's awesome, now I like Kickstarter even more (I like it quite a bit anyway).

Yeah, I only put two and two together when I read it as well -- which given his role's mentioned earlier on the thread shows how much I pay attention sometimes!

i guess if you see it as a publication, and you want to actually pay people to write, which i think we all agree is a fine thing, what's wrong with that??

My friend's husband just got 3 million for a video game, which is pretty insane to me! Kickstarter worked for them, for sure.

The primary misunderstanding, Dibb told me, is the belief that he received any of the $26,000. In reality, all of that money has gone directly to TEMEDT, he says. "I think the Kickstarter was up for a day or two before I realized that I felt incredibly uncomfortable about the idea of asking people to fund a trip for me to go to Africa... that's why the project turned into a charity thing."http://pitchfork.com/news/48012-animal-collectives-deakin-apologizes-for-kickstarter-controversy-explains-delayed-solo-material/

I love how all these people I know are asking for 15K to produce an indie recording. I wish they would just be transparent about the whole thing and say "I know I easily record this myself w/some decent mics, a good room and pro tools, but I really want to spend three weeks in NY w/the guy who recorded band x". I'm going to hit all these guys up and kickstart a second iPad for my home and a summer trip to Kauai.

I just can't warm up to the idea of begging people on social media outlets to finance personal vanity projects.
And yes, purchasing your own mics and learning pro tools is totally equivalent to tin cans and strings.
