The insurgence of independent record labels is something that is really fascinating me at the moment. I know that the indies are doing well, with Warp registering their highest ever album chart position for Maximo Park's Our Earthly Pleasures (genius, btw). But I'm talking more about bands setting up their own labels to release their music. Also, bands such as The Crimea releasing their album for frr on download. It really is changing times for the music industry, and it will be interesting to see how this phenomenon will progress.
