i'm thinking that artists on a major label is not
elligible. DC and Rufus are on one, and Sigur Ros
is licensed to one. VoL is no more, and Bill is
doing his on his own (so i think Bill would count).
helping out the do-it-yourself artists...?
but, in all reality, it'll be up to the compiler of
each individual compilation to decide.
my main goal was to bring to light the *way* lesser
known regional artists, local treasures... then i
guess i expanded it to any artist not on a major
label.
artists who put out their records themselves are the
main thing i was looking for... perhaps.
what do others think?
