thought this was amusing: on this weeks mail-out from
skinny.com (the people behind captivated.com, check 'em out),
there's a mention of diskono's 'destroy rare records' thing:
MUSIC NEWZ ___________________________________
SCOTTISH LABEL TO DESTROY RARE VINYL
Diskono, a mysterious experimental electronic music label and
collective, has been known in the past for its creative ways of making a
point. Some of their releases have been sent out with handwritten
postcards as a statement against impersonalization in the record
business. A press release for an event they put together declared that
"repetitive beats will be banned and people will be forced to discuss
art/philosophy or be thrown out... DJs will be booked, their records
will be taken away to be replaced with records of our own choosing...
records produced before 1997 will not be allowed, the past is DEAD and
cannot talk back." Their next action has been announced for some time in
99: they will be smashing 100 of the rarest techno records of all time
as a public statement about the vinyl fetishism that is going around
these days. I know I'll be biting my nails when some classic Aphex Twin
goes under the hammer... check their website for clues.
