Great Interview of Chicago Independent Record Label Owners

Recently there have been a spate of very interesting articles about music, the music business, and culture in general.  This interview, conducted by Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune, is my favorite of the bunch - a really thoughtful, concise, and articulate assessment of the current situation of independent musicians and record labels by two Chicago independent record label owners.  These people have a wonderfully appropriate sense of humor, which you need in this business, and provide some funny quotes: "rearranging the chairs on the Titanic," "You have to have more passion than sense."  If you are someone in the business who is in need of a cathartic laugh in recognition or someone who wants learn more about what it's like to be an independent musician and/or someone operating an independent label, I recommend this quick and enjoyable read.
