    Say, I just realized something, a certain very well known song is apparently on her own independent label. Have anyone tried this?

    And yeah I do realize it would most likely be vocals only (perhaps some keys) but I think it would be very enjoyable vocals if all the harmony effects and what not gets authored.

    I was actually speaking to their management a while back, so I'll see if anything can be worked out this time.

    Edit:
    Not gonna happen.

    Damn, that would have been awesome to play.

    I'd buy that

    Never heard of it. How is it well-known? (in a movie, some internet fad I missed, just curious here)

    It's the death scene music in the finale of some TV show, then a sketch was made parodying the scene and then it became a meme by putting it on other death scenes for comic effect. It's the part at 2:51 that is the most well known

    I tossed an email to her management. I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

    It was also sampled in a Jason Derulo song, "Whatcha Say", which was a pretty big hit back in 2009.

    On-topic: This got me thinking - I've seen quite a few European acts on the RBN or in the pipelines, so perhaps a little digging around in the archives of the Eurovision Song Contest might yield a few possibilities? We have Lordi, winners of the contest in 2006, as official DLC after all. I can hardly start linking to over 1500 songs here, though, and I believe quite a few of the artists are signed to major labels, but a little search on Wikipedia brought up City Records (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Records ; www.cityrecords.co.rs - unfortunately, the link to the English website doesn't seem to work anymore), and there were some names on that list that looked very familiar to a Eurovision fan.

    (In case you have no clue what I'm talking about, allow me (or Wikipedia) to elaborate.)

    My next request is The Black Keys. Their first 3 albums (The Big Come Up, Thickfreakness, Rubber Factory) are all on independent labels. Their debut album, The Big Come Up is on Alive Records and the other 2 albums are on Fat Possum Records.

    Any chances of this happening?

    It's probably a tad unlikely, since the guy who did their song (who is in the band) said he's not terribly eager to do another, and he's not terribly interested in having someone else do one for him- he's too DIY. But who knows.
