Each artist brings their own fan base, their own labels [and] distributors..." which is an important bit of networking for independent labels and artists.

 Independence Day: It’s a great time to be an indie publisher
At Winnipeg’s Endearing Records, owner Blair Purda doesn’t insist on a piece of the publishing, but he says he works much more actively on behalf of those titles in which he has a dual interest.
The week he spoke to Words and Music, he had six deal memos in front of him, some of them for songs by bands that had broken up, some for songs that are five or six years old.
Endearing’s Purda, for example, has hooked up with Nettwerk’s Jowett to share the legwork and the publishing royalties deriving from two Endearing acts, Paper Moon and The Heavy Blinkers.

Well, except for folks like Blair Purda, that is. For six years, Purda has been running endearing records, Winnipeg's own little indie label that could.
Once headquartered in Purda's apartment -- a convenient location, since he was the only employee -- in the past year endearing has moved to digs in the Exchange District, hired actual staff and continued to expand its roster with bands from the U.S. and Europe.
Tonight "is more of an indie-rock night -- sort of louder and heavier, with some great math-rock bands," explains Purda.

Both MacIsaac and Purda are counting on the fact a sweep of strings and a solid melodic hook will work for both bands in foreign territories.
Purda calls the Blinkers/Orwell combination a “natural, obvious fit.” In fact, it seems like a strong reaction against the pretensions of the ‘90s is driving the IPX.
This kind of artistic exchange works best overseas, Purda adds, noting there’s already a network, albeit small compared to the massive marketing that can dominate North America, in place.

For several years i kept these thoughts to myself until one day in conversation with my then Master it came out how i felt about all of this.
He knew exactly where i was coming from, and understood completely the acceptance that being dressed in purda would mean to me. i bought the fl cotton material, found a pattern to make the abaya (the traditional longsleeved full-length dress) and set to work.
Unfortunatley the fantasy was never realised with that Master, but my next Master shared my fascination and together we talked about it and decided to go ahead with it.
