Conflict of Interest?
The good folks over at Tiny Mix Tapes posed a question about whether the many blogs that have started record labels (Gorrila Vs Bear, Chocolate Bobka, My Old Kentucky Blog, etc) seem to have set themselves up for a conflict of interest, as they still write about the bands they now have a financial stake in. The site opened up their comments section and have had some pretty interesting responses. If you have thoughts, add them on, as this is something that clearly is going to become more prevalent, not less. Read the article and share you comments HERE.

I’m not really sure how anyone could NOT call it a conflict of interest.
it certainly is… if i was in their shoes, i’d just avoid writing about the acts on my label personally and let someone else do it. but i don’t see anything wrong with covering them still necessarily.
