Now this is interesting: RCRD LBL, “a brand new music site where all of the downloads are both free AND legal.” Their welcome post goes on to say: “In a world where many people get their music for free, we wanted to create a site where bands we loved could put their music out there for free AND get paid for it. RCRD LBL is a new model and an experiment, putting great music out there for free and with absolutely no DRM. We hope you enjoy the music and support what we’re doing by making RCRD LBL part of your daily music diet.” Read more…

(It helps that while it wasn’t exactly cheap, it also cost quite a bit less than I would have expected, given its newness, not to mention the original cover price and the pound-to-peso exchange.)

There are some ideas that sound good on paper, and turn out horrible when they’re actually executed. There are ideas, on the other hand, that have the ring of total disaster, but somehow turn out all right when they’re finally brought to life. And then there are ideas that sound good to begin with, and turn out even better than expected… But enough about my birth and subsequent illustrious career!
