Rojas Launches RCRD LBL
Peter Rojas, the guy that co-founded Engadget, launched his latest venture today. RCRD LBL, which translates to Record Label in non-Web 2.0 vernacular, is a blog meets social network for music lovers. Well, it doesn’t exactly appear to be pushing as a social network but you can register for an account and post a profile. However, the attraction of RCRD LBL is the exclusive, DRM-free tracks offered daily from a bevy of artists. Granted these will be more of the indie type of artists from their own roster of artists as well as the other labels they’re partnering with.
RCRD LBL has been added to the small list of music sites I visit frequently: Pandora, PureVolume, Pitchfork Media, Songza and Hype Machine. The site also seems to have launched with a number of sponsorships from Nikon to Puma, so it will be interesting to see what lies in RCRD LBL’s future.
What music sites do you frequent, if any?
Looks like the rcrdlbl website has died… ah well!
I just have my favourite artists RSS feeds, and rely on friends to suggest new music to me. That said, I had previously never heard of songza- what a great service- thanks Paul, I’d never heard the extended version of ‘Gravedigger’ before.
hmm. sounds good. im not diggin the design but the sites not loadin (stammy effect)
im a last.fm user but i don’t go to the site much
They’ve got a killer lineup of labels, looking forward to seeing what happens.
I like imeem.com — it enables embed music tracks that I like posting on my blog. It’s neat. Love your music page suggestion, Paul.
I have used Pandora Radio however my internet connection is way too slow to actually enjoy it much less any other streaming music site.
