well, having ninjatune show up in, where, montreal? turned out pretty
sweet. in fact, a fair chunk of people believe ninjatune to be a purely
canadian label.
heh.
usually labels that actually do their own thing tend to do a pretty good
job, esp. cos they usually have the same ideas (being, you know, the same
label).
plus the nothing thing has problems because the nothing people (aka trent
reznor) has to bother with all the people in interscope and i think
interscope is also a subsidiary of a larger label (which name escapes me).
matador's a bit better, but has less of a budget, bla bla bla.
so if there is a warp US thing happening, i can only see good things (well,
there might be more US people on warp, which might be bad, har har).
cheers,

Subject: [idm] Warp US?
I have heard talk recently that "any moment now" Warp US is going to be
setting up an office in New York and has signed a big fat distribution deal
with Caroline.
This prompts three questions:
1. Will all Warp releases now be significantly cheaper for those stateside?
2. How much of their catalog will be released in the U.S.?
3. Will this turn out as poorly as the deal with Nothing?
