Iron Man Records

Music and related News from Birmingham, England - posted by Mark Badger

I run an independent record label called Iron Man Records, which is based in Birmingham England. The record label has been running since 1996 and in 2000 I set up the Birmingham Music Network which is also known as just The Music Network.

I've organised gigs in and around Birmingham since 1994 as Badger Promotions. I play in a band called Last Under The Sun and at present I'm also playing guitar in another band called Police Bastard who have recently re-formed. I do a bit of tour management and driving to help bands out, write and maintain several music related blogs, and recently started to look after a band called The Orb…but only as far as their online activities are concerned.

I do some lecturing at Birmingham City University as part of their Music Business degree course and I run a shop on ebay selling all sorts of good alternative music on cd or vinyl. I also enjoy a good game of mental chess with local funding organisations who try and pocket most of the money intended for struggling local musicians and creatives.

Forget A or Not A

Ok my answer to Andrew Dubber's “Is it more important that music businesses make money, or is it more important that culture expands, innovates and grows?”

I'm off the rails here by a long way, again, but Andrew sparked off a thought that reminded me of something that may be interesting to share. Forget the original question...here's a thought for the day.

First of all forget the concept of IT IS EITHER A or NOT A

second try Quantum Physics http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=f1NmMJ25bTY

Any model we make does not describe the universe it describes what our brains are capable of saying at this time. All perception is gamble. We believe what we see and then we believe our interpretation of it we dont even know we’re making an interpretation most of the time.
