Concord will do a good job — better, IMHO. Fret not, Gregory.

Now if they would just get rid of those super-gross egg sandwich things…

Well, now we have Redbull records to take their place.

I wont disagree with Universal Indie, but I am sad to hear the news. Their Hear Music samplers remain some of the best mix cd’s I own and I had high hopes for the label.

Le sigh.

Starbucks did a better job at selling music when the were picking a few eclectic titles to sell through their stores. They should have stayed out of the music business beyond that because for all their promotion, Paul McCartney didn’t hit platinum.

Maybe they could have implmented download kiosks in the store as well since everyone in Starbucks seems to own a laptop or a digital music player.

THe downloads of course should be of those same eclectic artists and DRM free…
