ALL THE BANDS I LOVED IN THE 80S AND 90S MADE ESSENTIALLY NOTHING. Repeat, ESSENTIALLY NOTHING.
not sure who you loved but it's probably not accurate to say ALL. Most? Yeah, most indie rock bands didn't make much. I have no idea what S3 sales are/were/are going to be tbh.

I remember that Jason said to me that he made more money from the Volkswagen ad than any of LAG's sales.

That's not so surprising, considering that Jason blew so much money on recording and packaging for those 90's SPZ albums.

Plus placement fees were way higher back then, in the days before indie rock was a music-for-commercials-n-films cottage industry

one of the ex-members of the band who illegally authorised the license of a Spacemen 3 recording behind our back (to which the other band members were denied any royalties or advance)
any idea what this was? I did sort of do a double-take when I recently saw/heard some ad that used a song that *sampled* "Big City" but that probably isn't it.

er, not "Big City", "I Love You" from Recurring
