Center of the Indie Label Universe Blog

I am proud and excited to share with you the research of the students of the
Indie Labels class.

Their assignment was to research the history of a current indie label for a
group presentation of their choosing (with some prodding / advice from me).
In addition, they were to assess the business practices of these labels to
see what they do that made / makes them successful in these rapidly changing
but interesting and exciting time.

Rather than being the only one to see their excellent work, they were asked
to create a blog post complete with their research, photos, links and
embedded music and video from the artists on that label. The site is called
Center of The Indie Label Universe.

I plan to add content to the site every few days and welcome any of your our
your students work to increase the sites profile. I also added multiple
links to our program so those surfing onto the site can find out where
students do such interesting and dynamic research.

Labels that are currently on the blog are:

Gotee
Merge
Epitaph
SST
Domino
Vagrant
Stones Throw
Def Jam

If you see / know the students who did the research - let them know you read
their post and what you thought.
