Does that show that the podcasting community is of little consequence? Does that actually make it more difficult to argue that podcasts have influence? I realize that sometimes you need to take risks for big reward but this could backfire badly. I will be buying the song and I do hope it reaches the top, but I was just wondering what is the consequence if it does not.

"Just get on with in and sell music" That is all that should matter to bands, and as long as I can find it and easily buy it, that is all that matters to me as a consumer. I think that indi music is working just fine. Bands still produce and sell music. Consumers can still find great unsigned bands and music not control by the lables. Sure, the bands aren't as big as U2 but if they were most of us wouldn't buy them anyway.
