Another reason why major labels suck...

Because they'd never send you a neatly packaged blank CD-R with instructions on how to download their music and burn it... "Who would do that?" you ask? Insound -- the Amazon.com of Indie music: Buy all your hard-to-find-obscure-as-hell indie music there.

UPDATE [2004-01-21 22:38:02]: Ernest Miller over at the incomparable The Importance Of takes it one step further and actually goes to the website mentioned on the packaging... http://www.insound.com/diesel. There's some really good indie music there!!! For example, The Gossip, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Death Wish Kids, Death Cab, Pretty Girls Make Graves (former members of the Murder City Devlis... of whom I wrote about in "Murderin' Music -- The Murder City Devils").
