0 dollars. I dont make music. Not in many years. And not seriously ever. I write and I bitch and I attend school.

i dont know much about noise but i'd guess any underground musician does it for love and has a day job?

It's not noise, but my buddy who plays for KC gets real paid. This was his ride to work this morning:

not to go off topic, but it's kinda like how i think that theres got to be a 3rd party person(s) who are related to TMR somehow, and just sell mega rare albums on ebay, just to cash in on that market.

and if Ben Weasel is making $40,000. just imagine how much Joe Queer makes. and that band still tours! where, hasn't Screeching Weasel done fuck all for many years? i dont follow them, just cause i gave up on most of them back in the 90's

john zorn gets a lot of artist grants because he is a 'culturally significant' composer. not to mention he made half a million from his macarthur genius grant.

I imagine noise musicians who don't hold day jobs are EXTREMELY smart with their dough....

You think Sonic Youth make an unlistenable racket?

Sean Lennon and Jakob Dylan and Miley Cyrus are making the unlistenable rackets and come from money IMO

No not literally it's just a saying. I like some of Lennon's stuff.
