Sound has the pleasure of hosting a monthly column (”Tell Rock Stars”) written by the one and only Slim Moon, founder of the Northwest label Kill Rock Stars and current proprietor of Shot Clock Management. Every issue, Slim lends out some wisdom about the music industry, answering questions from local bands, from Is Sonicbids worth doing? to Does my band need label support? In our March issue, Slim takes on the question of whether the major labels deserve to be part of the economic bailout?

The questions he answers in issues to come will depend on you, faithful reader. If you’re a musician, in a band, or just curious about the music biz, send your queries to

letters [at] soundnw.com

Or pose a question in the comments. It it’s good enough, we just might publish it (with your band’s name attached). So ask away!
