forgive if this site has already been linked .. and forgive again to re-hash this topic. onward:

consider me impressed. it's still very 'ground floor', but the concept is terrific. you listen via web (no mp3 download) to songs/albums/genre web cast and if you hear something you like you have an option to purchase the CD for a fraction of what it would cost in a record store.

like I said, it's still to short to be considered for mass media .. as far as I can gather the traditional role of the record label has been removed and what's left is a direct plug from artists to the consumer.

nice.

as it stands right now the site (label?) has almost nothing to offer, but if the idea takes off and they can stay floating long enough, I would be willing to bet that we could be seeing the birth of the next evolution of mass media from a musical stand.

it's very exciting and I plan to find something to purchase .. I found a couple interesting things, and while I might or might normally spend mt bucks on the music, I think I'll run the card just to show my support for this new concept in music delivery.
