so anyway, we have established that Aphex probably doesn't even know
that his music is being used to fight the drug war. This means that the
question I asked in my initial post: Is Aphex a sellout? can be answered
"No." and can be replaced by the declaration that Warp records must be
the sellouts...
Personally, if my label (not that I have one) sold my song to be used in
an anti-drug or an anti-choice or anti anything else I believed in
propaganda, I would sever my relationship with them and have a press
release protesting agaist it, but just because Aphex isn't doing this
doesn't mean he's a sellout. Maybe it means nothing whatsoever... It
won't affect my listening to him at all, just like the beatles Nike ad
doesn't affect my listening to the Beatles... Now, metallica is another
story, because thoese guys personally attacked Napster... AND they had
in the past admitted to trading tapes in their formative years....
once again, peace out my brothers and sisters in music madness
