Niche Labels

Tuesday, March 27, 2007

With every bit of evidence telling them that it makes no sense to manufacture CDs anymore, some tiny labels continue to produce them, and they find people who buy. We explore this phenomenon today with guests including Mac McCaughan, co-founder of the indie-rock label Merge Records; and Jeff Gauthier, who runs the L.A.-based jazz label Cryptogramophone.
