Whiskeytown[edit]

Find better proof of Bloodshot's major-label affiliations and we'll remove the indie label reference. But as for now, RIAA association isn't enough. - Stick Fig 21:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a history with that particular page of the RIAA putting non-member labels, such as Matador Records, on there as members as a way of boosting up their ranks. For that reason, I wouldn't trust it. That's why I said "find better proof." - Stick Fig 18:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just did a search on RIAA Radar, linked from the Independent Records article, for "Ryan Adams Heartbreaker," and it came back marked "safe" and non-RIAA affiliated. I think that's enough proof to say that we can keep the phrase in. - Stick Fig 18:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
