Blind Item #1 - Reader Blind
About 15 years ago there was an Indie Pop band who enjoyed moderate, yet somewhat fleeting, success. They are still around, but not quite as big. They were known for their videos, which were pure choreographed fun. The thing is, though, we almost didn't see these videos. One day at the office, the lead singer stopped by me and another assistant and asked us to watch the homemade video. He said the heads of the label insisted they not release it, as then the band would only be known for quirky videos. Here's the thing, if they didn't release that video, they wouldn't be known AT ALL. Just another record on the shelf of a label. The other assistant and I said they absolutely had to release it. Thankfully, they listened to us. Awards appearances, collaborations, and other awesome videos followed. They may not be huge anymore, but if they had listened to the heads of the studio, literally NO ONE would know who they were.
