CRASHING THE CHARTS FOR INDEPENDENT MUSIC
[SOURCE: Washington Post, AUTHOR: Mike Musgrove]
Today might be a bigger day than usual for an unsigned California band called Black Lab, whose song "Mine Again" has become an anthem of sorts for podcasters hoping to make a point. The goal is to get enough music fans to buy copies of "Mine Again" to land the song on Apple's iTunes bestseller list -- and in doing so prove that bloggers and podcast hosts have market-moving power.
