i was being a bit sarcastic here. i know a lot of people who are trying
to get the originals but still end up buying all comps; and the joy on
their faces is indescribable when they find some original stuff. there's
big movement currently with dj's to buy shitloads of old stuff, and
many play a lot of that stuff but there is so much new stuff coming that
will never get played... that's sad.
