Roundtable Discussion: The Role Of The Record Label

Roundtable Discussion: The Role Of The Record Label - Monitor Mix Blog : NPR: "So, while the notion of community has been broadened and redefined -- we may no longer see record labels as megaphones for towns and the bands therein -- perhaps we still need someone to help curate and make sense of the music out there.
