Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Just thought of a great idea
Well, I like CDs too. My point was more "Hey why not set this up (my way) because I think it would require minimal material investment"
Honestly for me, iTMS' biggest competitor is BestBuy. I can get the actual CD of a band for $10 the first two weeks its out. I understand that iTMS is a cheaper alternative for albums that are already 6 months old ($9.99 vs. $13.99), but for new releases, I don't mind my CD collection growing if its the same price.

Re: underwhelmed by the mainstream collection
Beta Band is from Astralwerks (in the US), who distributes the Chemical Brothers. I believe they are on iTunes, so perhaps it's just a matter of time.
Wagon Christ = same label.
Don't know about Plug.
HELLO?? Belle and Sebastian are from MATADOR RECORDS!! Apparently, you did not even attempt to read the subject of the forum thread you are in! Either they're on there right now (and you just don't know) or they certainly will be Tuesday.

Re: Re: indys
They are the music behind a new car commerical also. But it doesn't seem that long ago that they were playing at a very dumpy performance spot in Cleveland called Speak in Tonuges. An aquaintance of mine, Brian Straw, who lived at the performance spot, and helped book them there 3 years ago, told me when they recently played in Chicago they made $20,000. A far cry from the the$800 of three years ago. They are now independantly wealthy
