10 Reasons Venture Capitalists Love Indie Bands

1) Listening to esoteric stuff no-one has ever heard of makes you “smart�

2) Excuse to hang-out with a crowd half their age

3) Bands go nowhere without money

4) …Being the money-guy makes you important

5) Bands have clear business models and distribution channels. Oh wait…

6) Blogs! Blog dominated communications

7) Activity Epicenters: San Francisco & New York

8)  Schwag!

9) “Due Diligence� is still done over cocktails

10) Lots of skinny white dudes in t-shirts

    Heh. Nice deconstruction of the appeal of indie bands to hipsters. I laughed.

    Liking indie music is fine, but being pretentious about it makes one look like a jerk.

    Rumors have nike air max 1 been circulating for a while now regarding a 2010 release of the nike air max 2010 Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago,” but we have not seen any sort of confirmation in the form of catalog images or words from Jordan Brand representatives. nike air max 95 But today, we are extremely proud to present a nike air max 90 SneakerFiles exclusive confirmation that the Air Jordan nike air max nl X (10) will drop this month as a quickstrike release. Not just any Air Jordan 10, but rather the Chicago colorway with 45—the number Michael Jordan wore when he came back from retirement—on the ankle. This colorway of the AJ 10 is one of the most popular styles ever created, and will surely result in lines outside stores for days and may even cause riots. The Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago 45″ will release at only 150 sneaker stores across the United States with each retailer only receiving 23 pairs. Be sure to check out the additional photos and information after the jump!
