I totally agree with those who start their own labels to release their own
projects or to promote new ones, but many of these new labels seem to be
trying to release cds by already established
artists. Another question I have for the artists themselves: why not stay on
one label for awhile? Just think of how many artists only record one disc
for a label. What label do you run?

Being one of those upstart labels your talking about I can give you a
simple answer from my perspective. Did you stop to think that maybe people
like myself love the music and that's why they start a label. Why is it
"not good for (the) scene" to try and find (and promote) new artists? What
do you suggest?
we just wait for warp and ninjatune to find new artist for us to listen to?
mabye i'm missing your point but one day you'll wish there where more
upstarts around.
