Today is April first but this is no trick. Do you need a record company? Well you are welcome to be a part of MUSEA, my 16 year old zine’s record company. It’s free, you can be a part of it today and it will have no ties on either of us. No contract signed. No rules. No obligation on either side. It’s to help us both promote our music by loosely joining together under one name.And it does allow any independent unsigned musician, to tell others that they have been ‘signed’ to the most revolutionary record company in the world – Who else is doing this for example?
And on my side, it’s good publicity for Musea, independent musicians, and the art and media revolution that I’m promoting.
I got the idea by seeing how many myspace musicians were unsigned. I have a small record company. Why not allow others to use the name till they get really signed by someone. It might just help them promote their music, and help me promote the art and media revolution.
So any musicians of any type of music – if you want to have a record company. You’ve got it. Just tell people your record company is Musea from Dallas, Texas, USA.
Then instead of putting unsigned on your myspace, you can put Musea, along with other indie musicians. Once your career gets going, you can start your own record company or sign with another one.
Let me know if you want to do it and I’ll keep a roster of who’s joined.
It’s a way that a lot of indie musicians can loosely join together without any real commitment, until you get a regular record company.
Got questions or comments? Let me hear from you.

Some history on Musea’s record company (1980s- Now). It started as a number of singles for me Tom Hendricks. Then a rock opera called ‘John and Martha’ with a full cast. Then a co-op record company with 6 lp’s featuring about 12 musicians or groups on each recording, and recently 4 of my post-bands music CD’s.
