This Linux label thing is all a very cool idea, I think... It reminded
me of a nifty chiptune netlabel, called "Pause Music" (iimusic.net)...
they appear to be using Wordpress with some clever styling (and
probably plugins) to combine a blog and digital-release catalog.
Perhaps "Flying Penguin Records" could draw some inspiration from it?
I like the idea of somewhat modeling the "virtual releases" after
physical releases, rather than just being a big streaming site.
