actually it does...the house is collapsing on me as well, however, since i (the independent) am struggling to move just a few units anyway, what difference does it make...actually makes the struggle worth it because it deflates the blow up dolls... on another level, there used to be an inkling of subversiveness, and idealism behind supporting "scenes", "generes", or "subculcutures" such as detroit techno, so it appears to me that now is the time to put our money where our mouths are if there is some substance to this movement or was it all just bs so we could feel good about wanton consumerism...if this is a movement where is the mobilization...now would be the time to do something right?
