I know people at labels who complain about the volume of demos they get that they would never in a million years put out, almost as if the person hasn't even listened to the other stuff on the label.

Your totally right on that Ceri...it's sometimes suprising what kind of demos i get which are totally not in line with the kind of music i support.
I got CD's containing country or even Schlager or Hardrock music....even though my Record Label is registered as a Dance label.
Sometimes you will be rejected...but in my beginning of my musical career i got some great feedback of labels which comment on the music or give some critics which can be used in future demo CD's.
Just don't expect to be recognised by a label with just a Myspace page or some YouTube movies....if those people get attention by labels it's mostly luck.
Expect to be dissapointed alot...just keep up and try again.
