Marketing is about selling something, whether it be an idea or a
product. Marketing is not evil. And Marx and Engels did it. So did Abbie
Hoffman, Noam Chomsky, NPR, et al.

I heard on Sirius while briefly checking it out:
BoC
Aphex
Sea and Cake
Dr. Ocatagon Scratch show
tons of old school hip-hop
They aren't owned by Clear Channel/AOLTime
warner/VIACOM/anyotherbigbrothercompany
Why are they part of the problem?? I think you need to get over the
"too-cool for school" attitude that this list always seems to fall into.
If you have a car and live in the U.S. I'd recommend this product, even
if they "turn a buck."
