Hi Embe,

Thanks for adding me. I’ve only been going for a few weeks now, but I am trying to hammer it hard in several different directions.

Nope: won’t be blogging about U2 anytime soon. I’m pretty hard-core on the CC / Free (Libre) Culture / Indie routes of music making and licensing. I’ve been irritated with the RIAA here for several years now. And, I’m a pretty vocal proponent of Larry Lessig’s (and related) writings.

Hi embe,

Thanks! I am aware of the back-ends most of the netlabels are using (archive.org, scene.org, sonicsquirrel.net, etc) along with a few of the lesser known distribution routes (like Legal Torrents). I’ve also looked at Phlow and your netwaves blogs. I’m trying to highlight some of the actual sites and releases that are out there, hoping that through my own writing I can encourage some readers to visit the actual front-end sites, and contribute to the sites more directly.

When I have some time, I’ll add be adding many of these sites and resources to my links and locations database, along with a some more catalogs / aggregator sites, and some of the rss feeds that I’ve found and use to track the releases.

Thanks again for the comment! It’s greatly appreciated.

George

so what’s next, you should think? well, that’s the most difficult part of netlabelism: or you jump into the mothership – http://www.archive.org/details/netlabels – with a certain risk of drowning, or you do it the slow way by reading blogs like Phlow – http://phlow-magazine.com/ – or mine – http://netwaves.org/

welcome to the magnificent world of free music!
