how exactly is that? is everyone just gonna buy their second and
third copies of all these records? theyre obviously being
repressed because new people demand the old tunes that started it
all. thats the most encouraging thing i can think of for this
music. keeping it obscure and out of print is bad news for letting
more people get into it.

actually, thats how you destroy things. music can obviously grow
just fine without massive press and hipster cred and money behind
it. if it didnt there would be no real underground music. the way
you build is by releasing good distincitve records, not trendy
records. i mean look at the ravey era of underground resistance
tunes. how well have they held up compared to their other older
joints?
