Today I would like to share a feature The Quietus has written on the fire rioters started at the Sony/PIAS warehouse in London. The warehouse is a distribution center for nearly 150 different independent labels. The feature provides a list of some of the labels effected, as well as some suggestions for albums you may be interested in buying to help support these labels in such a difficult moment for business - among those included by The Quietus are Bjork's Homogenic and Joanna Newsom's Have One On Me, two of my very favorite records, as well as Destoryer's Kaputt, one of 2011's best offerings. Please be reminded that this is already an icnredibly difficult time for independent labels and record stores, and they very much need the support of listeners like yourself. If you are an independent music fan, it's very likely that an artist you like is represented by one of these many labels. I invite you to give it some consideration.
