hmm, seems some labels aren't playing along....

as an aside, and while this is not surprising, it seems to be a sad but true fact that the discipline of Marketing is emerging more and more rapidly as the dominant capital-generating force in modern capitalism. i note this simply as I am impressed at the significance of the turn this q-trax represents...it signals the possibility that the multi-billion dollar recording industry could completely bend over and take it in the ass, and simultaneously walk away with almost exactly the same profit margins, simply by (and here's the shift i'm pointing to) BECOMING (or rather begin integrated into / reterritorialised onto) the advertising industry, which would assume all the capital-generating machines once assigned to the purchasing of music.

impressive.
