@REEL

I could be wrong but it feels to me like the late '70s, when punk arrived and then, more importantly for me, all the post-punk '80s indie labels.

That gave us #Mute, #TwoTone, #Stiff, #TouchAndGo, #K, #Postcard, #CherryRed, #Creation, #SarahRecords, #SubwayRecords, #BlastFirst and all the others. It was great until they folded / were bought by majors.

I feel like the #Fediverse might be that again but for where we are now.

Something that cannot be bought, cannot be centralised.

Mika Vainio (15 May 1963 - 12 April 2017) left us six years ago.
