G7 Welcoming Committee Records launches download store

Contributed by iconoclast. Posted by aubin on Thursday, December 7, 2006 at 8:00 PM (EST)

The deathly serious political activists at G7 Welcoming Committee Records have launched an equally serious digital service selling the label's entire catalogue in unrestricted MP3 format. The tracks are available at the maximum bitrate (320kbps) and albums range from $4.99 - $9.99.

The label struggled with a name for the service explaining:

Announcing iShit: the G7 Welcoming Committee Records Download Store.

Just kidding! It's not really called iShit. It actually doesn't have a name, other than "the G7 Welcoming Committee Records Download Store." We played around with some ideas for names, like "iPoliticallyRadicalTunes" or "eRevolutionaryActivistMusic", but they were already trademarked by Victory Records.

You can expect to have you digital downloading urges quenched here.

I nominate you to the position of pn.org ombudsman. Your journalistic integrity with the MxPx ordeal obviously was just the beginning.

I think that was the point of the joke, sir.

Good for them. I'm still a fan of hard copy music but I may want a song or two off this site...Esspecially shit that's harder to find...or that I don't want to pay shipping on.

I think overall a shift away from hard copy music is a step in the right direction, despite that I as well like a hard copy.

Someone (December 7, 2006)

as long as we can get some artwork and lyrics.

Did Plan-it-X launch a digital store too?

Ike_Ness (December 7, 2006)

Victory probably owns the copyrights to that as well.

Someone (December 8, 2006)

you like plan-it-x? Rosa rules. they make my heart happy :) and you can get live tracks free here: http://the-stripe.com/rosa/ !!!

the best ones are 'untitled' (later named 'ashevile') and 'milkcrates'

JohnnyOstentatious (December 7, 2006)

Damn, sounds like a great deal. Wish I actually liked the music they release.

Why would you think that?

Someone (December 8, 2006)

well this is pretty gay

Someone (December 8, 2006)

Here's a question for the board---why does everyone on here get all bent out shape about digital releases and having music avaibable on itunes etc.. when Victory does it, or whomever, but when G7 does it, it's fucking gold.
I know, I know...it's G7 and they're untouchable--but really, it's the same freakin' thing.

Someone (December 8, 2006)

Chill out, Tony.

This shit is on Itunes already. They're just doing their version of a "webstore" for digital. Good idea, if you ask me.

GreenVandal (December 8, 2006)

Tony refused to put his stuff on itunes because he wanted an exclusive deal from apple that involved apple advertising victory. He didn't get that, and then he caved. That would be why people where a little more annoyed about that.

Someone (December 8, 2006)

This whole internet/computer thing is just one big scam.

Someone (December 8, 2006)

Would've been funnier if they said "iShat" instead.
