Getting Signed
Record contracts have been the goal of aspiring musicians, but are they still important in the era of SoundCloud? The belief that signing a record contract will almost infallibly lead to some measure of success-- the "ideology of getting signed," as Arditi defines it--is alive and well.Though streaming, social media, and viral content have turned the recording industry upside down in one sense, the record contract and its mythos still persist.
