well put...I don't need the disk or the packaging, ads aren't gonna make me want a piece of music...what is a label good for?
I like Courtney Love's analogy: the record companies have traditionally been the gatekeepers and they are desperately trying to keep that as a necessary part of the process...
...the labels remind me of the manufacturers of horse-drawn carriages...and it's 1910..and they're standing out in front of their shops watching the first automobile coming down the street
