The below is true and good, but when one makes no choices about what goes
on there "labels" as not to "influence it with there own ignorance." Then
they leave the listener in an awkward position. If your label has no
"sound" or "aesthetic" then isn't it just a microcosm of the internet? It
does no filtering for the listener; thus weakening it's "reputation"
(which may or may not be important). I really like fals.ch because they
filter and have a sound. . . there may be politics there, but its free and
I can go somewhere else to get a different sound. Without some filtering
it becomes just holding space for mp3's (and we all seem to share a
feeling about that (MP3.com anyone?))
Without sorting we are left in the same situation when there is no
label. and I have a very slow connection to the internet, so I need to
pick my MP3's with discursion.
my 2 cents. . .(but don't take them seriously if you are going to get mad)
yours,
vance
