145. Thank goodness for Netlabels, the Creative Commons and all those music blogs!

I am thankful, too, for the likes of Pacifica and other public stations. My musical tastes and knowledge would be severely limited without them, and nowhere near as expanded as it became with all the sites online for downloads. I'd say, too, that most of what I download is either rather obscure, from outside of the US or out of print. It's too bad the labels don't realize just how much more money they could make by releasing their vaults of out of print material as never-ending downloads. No money needed for packaging, artwork or marketing. Just make it available for sale per cut on your site and rake in the dough. Why are they so stupid when it comes to these simple concepts?

Here are the links I use regularly without having to bother with RIAA-approved music (however, some of that may still exist on somafm and Pandora) :
