If the Compilation works, a label could be a great idea, there's a amazing
source of musical knowledge on this list!
For the last attempt, I helped Jason Brancazio with the graphic design for
the preliminary voting tape, the design was not the greatest due to a
hurried schedule etc, but since I don't make music this I what I'd can
contribute.
Apologize in advance for this off-topic bit.
BTW a little self-promotion/backpatting, I just finished the sci-fi
channel redesign, if anyone is interested in quicktimes check out this
