We want your input on a new project
We're planning on creating a short promotional video for Thorp Records which will include brief introductions to, and interviews with, Thorp staff
members. So...
- what would you like to know?
- anything about the label specifically?
- something about a specific staff member or his job?
- perhaps one question you would like to be asked of all of us?
Anything you can think of, let us know, we're open to suggestions.
Thanks.
- BD

Then a brief flow over the current variety of singnings with some comemnts by some Thorp bands why they chose Thorp
Then a flashy look at a day at thorp - following 1 member during athe variety of thorp jobs: the online store, the forum, packing,...
Then asking the main man what's next in line for Thorp...

Why Thorp started. Other labels not producing quality stuff. What the labels goal is and what is in store for Thorp.

I agree with everything said above!. Bonus footage of duane in action with that creepy moustache would be awesome too!
Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.

all good ideas.
what about going through the process of selecting a band for the label, what they look for from a band, and other deciding factors when choosing bands
to sign.
maybe that info could also benefit two of our fellow members Gabe & MrBadVibes
\"thank you very little\"

There should be a section about the dedicated posters on the Thorp board who spread the gospel to all we meet.
Also a section about how Thorp is going to mass produce shitloads of Discipline merch. (hint, hint)

A lot of good stuff above.
For staff interviews, why do you like working for thorp? What drew you there and what keeps you there? What does thorp represent to you? How has thorp
evolved since it's beginnings and what do you see for the future of the label?

Why is Thorp awesome, and what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Future goals of Thorp?
What keeps you going and wanting to put out records?
Why is Duane big?
Why is Thorp bald?
Why do I call myself "moron"?

Thorp is andy kings middle name
just take a look at the papers
your leaders
they\'re killers
they\'re liars
what they do in your
name to make the bodies pile higher
the murders, the terror
they\'ve done it forever
as we sit band and smile
at the script they sell us
but now the victims, they\'re rising
their numbers\'s multiplying
they want their revenge for the years
that they\'ve been dying

There should be special, in-depth interviews with all your well known board posters, but to save Thorp the expense of flying around to all the various
locations I....I mean WE....I mean THEY are in, youse can just fly us (ME) out to hang in NY for a bit and watch me come up with rants so long you'll
have to print 'em out and read 'em on the crapper.

I like the suggestions Brooklyn had.
If Thorp was in competition for a band, what were some of the 'deal' breakers that had the band go with Thorp (IE great distro and a bottle of
whiskey). Some bands Thorp wanted to sign but didnt, and glad they didnt (Epitaph almost signed Papa Roach years back).

1) What are the top 3 sellers and what are the rough numbers behind them?
2) What type of budget was the new Ramallah album done on?
3) A bit of the "back-story" on how Ramallah came to Thorp.
4) How did Thorp start up? (through the first few releases)
5) What % of overall Thorp CD sales come from the online, in house store?
6) How did Thorp get the distribution hooked up?
7) Why doesn't this Andy guy know how to leak CDs?
