record label

A record label specializes in manufacturing, distributing and promoting audio and video recordings, on various formats.

Major record labels don't care about putting out 'great music'. They only care about making money. That's why they normally focus on signing artists who are eye candy (ie good looks, sexy, good dance moves, dresses nice etc..)

Even though most record labels are out of touch with what most music fans want, they convince their artists that they are in touch with what music fans want. That's why most artists end up being hated by the same music fans who used to love them.

Record labels love to prey on naive artists (who don't know a lot about the music business) because they're easier to milk for everything that they're worth.

Record labels (and their middlemen)usually bribe radio stations to play their artist's songs (i.e. payola).

Most record labels are very corrupt.
If you sign with a major record label without knowing anything about the music business, you're gonna get screwed.

Sometimes it's better to sign with an "independent" record label.

Laclede's

A Saint Louis University bar where underclassmen go to meet up and to find someone to fornicate with. The bar is old, dingy, and the bathrooms reek of urine and vomit. Do not worry if you are not of legal drinking age, simply bring a baseball card to show the bouncer and you will be able to get in. If not, take your drunken self around the building and climb the metal fence, or sneak in through an open window. Laclede's is the perfect place for drunken canoodling. May also be referred to as "La's" or "Lala's".
Man, I'm so wasted... it's almost midnight, let's head to Laclede's.

God damn, what happened last night at Laclede's?

You don't have a fake? It's okay, we're only going to La's.
