YEAH WARP SUCKS! I HATE HOW THEY SELL RECORDS ON THEIR WEBSITE. THEY ARE
SUCH SWINE FOR TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE NICHE THEY HELPED MAKE FOR WEIRD
MUSICS. I HEAR THEY DIDN'T EVEN ASK SOME OF THE MORE UNDERGROUND LABELS
THEY CARRY IF THEY COULD SELL THEIR MUSIC! I ALSO HEARED THAT THE
UNDERGROUND LABELS TURNED DOWN THE MONEY WARP MADE FOR THEM. HAHAHAHAHA -
WAY TO STICK IT TO THE FAT CAPITALIST SQUAREPUSHER PIMPING PIGS!
