I had occasion to exchange e-mail with Sam Rosenthal of Projekt
Records back when I was trying to get more ambient music sent to
WREK. As it happened I recently had occasion to be browsing the Projekt Records website, on which I
saw his essay
about MP3 sharing. My favorite quote from the article:
“I don’t agree with the whole concept that people will steal music
from you and never buy music again.”
He is both the owner/operator of Projekt, as well as a professional
working musician so if anyone has an informed opinion, you’d think
this guy has one.
Because of all the good stuff I found on the Projekt MP3 page, I have
some new band of the day picks. Today’s is the band that Rosenthal is
in, Black
Tape for a Blue Girl. I wasn’t previously familiar with them,
although I’ve heard the name before. When I heard some of their music,
it reminded me of the Changelings, a former botd. Really, it’s
probably the other way around since Black Tape has been around a lot
longer. Check them out.
