if you are all looking for the record label with the "right" attitude, look
at Honest Don's the label run by Fat Mike of NOFX.   NOFX even sings a song
about record labels (Dinosaurs Will Die) and released The Decline with a
"warning" on the CD telling the buyer to not pay more than $8 for the CD.

either way, check out the song, it's got the same idea you guys do.
