 This
is not an independent record label. This is not an MP3 blog or an
online filesharing site. Rather, Call Me Ishmael Recordings is an
itty-bitty not-for-profit operation run by a rock music fanatic who
gets a perverse thrill
out of sharing
music
with his friends. You can learn more about the history of CMI Recordings
by clicking
here.
Click
around the CMI Recordings catalog of mixtapes and mix CDs and check out
the track listings and witty liner notes for dozens of mixes. You will
also find links to external sites devoted to some of Ishmael's
favorite artists, all prominently featured on the CMI comps.
If
you dig these artists, be sure to support them by buying
their wares and seeing them perform
live. If you stop paying them, they'll stop making music. Recipients
of Ishmael mixes have been known to become rabid fans of the artists
featured on the playlists, which is what this is all about!
Ishmael
is aware that sharing personal mixes with friends is in the gray
area of the "fair use" exception to copyright infringement laws,
and as such he wishes to express infinite gratitude to the record
labels that allow the mixtape hobby to exist. No money
changes hands as the CDs and cassettes are distributed! It's all
about the
music!
Navigate
