It's personal. If you don't like it, I suggest moving on to the next story -- or, even better, because a lot of what I write about comes from readers, suggest something you care about and you think is appropriate for the site -- really. A lot better than saying "this doesn't fit" is, "I think this would fit." I think anyone who’s musically inspiring is fair game on this site. It’s personal.

Peter's putting this band up on his blog because they "play keyboards?" Do I have that right? Wait, I really don’t get it.

Even independent record labels have to sign a contract with distributors. then there is liscensing deals which split the album up into territories, and gives multiple music publishers the rights to sell the album only in those territories. gwenhwyfaer:

After all, it's their music, isn't it? Surely having created it, they can do with it as they please? ;/ Mind if ARS are really all that, one might expect them to be urgently having words with their distributors, and/or cutting some kind of deal with Amie St directly.

All sorts of hidden gems in those, sometimes. And that's all I'm going to say. It's clear nobody is going to change anybody's mind with this arguing. I never should have started it to begin with.

I'm going to pull the trigger on that album when I get the spare cash for it. http://20minuteloop.bandcamp.com/ I tried eMusic, and I have the same complaint about it that you have about Bandcamp: there was nothing there I thought was any good. I don't use iTunes, as I run Linux at home (I'm broke and can't afford a legit copy of Windows, and I refuse to pirate - same goes for music). Beatport I have no experience with. If you're happy with short sample, then good on you. I'm not, and it's as simple as that. I have plenty of other ways of finding things, including recommendations from friends who's tastes align with mine. That's how I found Humphreys and Keen. 20 Minute Loop is another I discovered on Bandcamp, and they are one of the best bands I’ve heard for a very long time.
