If you've ever thought you could pick bands better than the corporations who currently control our music industry then this is for you. 'My Record Label' (a facebook application) is the first record label owned & operated by Facebook members. They will own the label and pick the acts by voting on artists to sign and on which singles to release and sell amongst other things. 50,000 My Record Label members are about to form a record label and sign their favorite unsigned acts. They will make history together, voting on the name of the label, artists to sign and on which singles to release and sell amongst other things. Members will attempt to guide the label and it's acts up the charts, sharing equal ownership and control. Members become record executives, collectively guiding the careers of a newly signed acts and the future of a revolutionary idea in music business. Register now for FREE by adding the 'My Record Label' application to your facebook page and become one of the 50,000 members who will shape the careers and futures of My Record Label artists. You can find the application at: http://apps.facebook.com/myrecordlabel/ or http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=24862395146 or Search for 'My Record Label' in the facebook applications menue. Sincerely, Facebook Developer My Record Label |

That sounds like an unbelievably terrible idea. But so prog! Or at least RIO. ;-)
Although the music selected most assuredly will not be. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

| Indeed, sounds like a great idea but I'm not too fond of most people's taste in music (especially on Facebook). If only there were enough prog fans to create and maintain such a project! |

In this CD-R age you can run your own label from your basement anyway.

| god, this is actually really cool, but i'm afraid of the collective maturity level of 50,000 facebookians. its definately going to be 99% punk/indie bands that a bunch of friends start specificly for this label. |
