I'd love to see streaming as part of the label package instead of the artist. Instead of listening parties, we could have events where different artists could stream one after the other, schedule controlled by the label.
This means a viewer could see multiple acts (including new or guest acts) by going to their favourite label page for the weekly stream show (or whatever).
A great way to build a community
Apart from listening parties... NOT instead! Nothing can replace those parties where regular supporters of a specific label gather every so often and chat widely as they become more and more acquainted with the artists, label manager(s) and each others. Closest thing to real life friends meeting i have ever experienced online. Attend any 'Past Inside The Present' party and u'll know what i'm talking about.
yes I worded it wrong
