I'm not sure if anyone has mention this before but why don't V/VM, Skam, 
MAS record labels offer mailorder subscription club like indie labels, 
Rough Trade and Sub Pop have. wouldn't this assure sales since they would 
collect money upfront. this would also assure us obsessive music freaks 
the tunes we need/want so much. that way everybody wins, right? Come to 
think of it the Fax label should do this too.

Just a though,
Jeff

ps. sorry if someone else already suggested this.
