Astounding. Jazz is indeed dead.

[Scott Dolan]

Because they use social media? Don't most Jazz artists use social media? 

[Chuck Nessa]

Please............

You must be better than that.

[Scott Dolan]

So, not answering the questions? 

Cool, moving on.

Astounding in more than one way if this is a real help-wanted ad and not a joke. Currently you are the social media manager for Nessa Records and I am the social media manager for Goodbait Books. It's cheaper than paying for ads and, in my experience, just as unproductive.

[Scott Dolan]

Most larger companies, professional sports franchises, movie studios, etc., have them, so there must be some kind of payoff. 

I'm not seeing the joke. 

[Chuck Nessa]

We see.

No, you don't see anything beyone your own nose and the bitter and under-educated bubble you live in. 

Social media manager is a legitimate position, and they make pretty damned good money to the tune of $40k and up. They are both public relations and advertising rolled into one. The two most vital departments of any successful business. 

The joke being that you think your barely profitable record company is comparable to larger corporations with bigger money interests, which would include JALC. But hey, you've got the whole thing figured out, don't you...

This post pisses me off to no end, No intent to discuss this, just expressing my feelings.

[Scott Dolan]

I'm wondering what the point of that passive/aggressive reply was. 

Thanks for sharing, but then refusing to share about why you shared...
