I started this label about six months ago in the hope of following so many other labels from around the world that I love. I don't have much money so the DIY ethic runs strong. It's fundamentally a game - trying to find ways of giving new music and other things I love a platform. As I see it I can get involved with so much more than just music (I want to), so herein begins a new chapter for The Great Outdoors - a name that seems apt to me now in so many ways (it's a rough and untamed world out there...)
Great to see. MySpace has its place and I find it indispensible in some ways, but I reckon that a "proper" blog always provides a richer experience. I'm working on a hybrid band/label blog-based site at the moment, with a very similar DIY ethos (hopefully going live within the next week or two). It's been a fascinating experience, given that most of my web work to date has been purely commercial. Next time we catch up, it'd be interesting to swap perspectives and ideas.
