"speaking of beta bodega...i was thinking today...if i
stereotype...the
majority of people buying bbc records are fairly
well-to-do
people...maybe
middle-class white dudes...right?...i doubt that these
people are
really
going to give a care about third world suffering"....
Which is exactley why someone would want to release
records with educational info on them, I dunno even if
it is some marketing ploy its kind of nice to see
something out there that is concious of the outside
world, rather than the normal apolitical stance of
electronic music.And the music is slamming beyond the
politics, thats the best part.
