Pug’s Place

There’s a great new record label called Magnatune that was profiled in Linux Journal this month. During the traffic jam yesterday James and I read all about it. Their sub-tagline is, “We’re a record label. But we’re not evil.” These guys have the right idea! You can listen to all their music for free, and when you find something you want, you can download copies for your own use in several different formats for a price that you set - between $5 and $18 bucks for an album. They recommend you pay $8, but the trick is that 50% of the sale goes straight to the artist.

These guys rock, and there’s even some pretty cool celtic stuff on there. Go check them out today and become customers like James is, and I’m going to be! This is the model that needs to be supported, not the Recording Industry Jackasses at the RIAA.
