I missed the joke? Is it the fact that Relapse has a lot of different kinds of bands? Is it the fact that that list includes some garbage? I mean, when did it become bad to be eclectic? I'll tell you when. When the music Industry stopped finding and promoting original bands in exchange for Backing a handful of bands and shoving a bunch of their ripoffs down our throats. Suddenly it was bad to have different music share a label. Coincidently the change in format to fewer more profitable bands and conglomerate radio control leading to 40 national bands receiving 90%+ of the airtime happens to better track with the decline of the music industry than does the advent of high speed inet. Go figure, skapegoat the people who want variety instead of recognizing the inherent flaw in your own corporate structure...
I'm in a ranty mood today, but even if the half the bands suck eclectic labels are better than one track labels almost always...
