Dozens of ideas have been chosen from the hundreds of entries we received this summer including "Digital Marketing Bootcamp For Musicians", "Guiltless Pleasures: Imagining a Post-Snob World", "From 140 to 0: The Rise in Image- Based Marketing", and "Insight from 1 Million Consumer Interviews" just to name a few.

It seems the label succumbed to the harsh fi nancial realities of the record business and could not keep afl oat, despite its impressive roster and unwavering creative aesthetics. The label will stop issuing new releases by the end of 2012 and will sell only items from its back catalog. Fans of the label's bands can help it get out of its fi nancial hole by purchasing essential records from Converge, Cave In, Botch, ISIS, Jesu, Torche, Big Business and many more.
