In a perfect world yes.
In a world where hundreds of dollars are being payed for
one single 12" and where every Skam release is sold out
before it's even released -- no.
also, when there's too much good music being released,
it becomes of little interest of going just that (good)
-- we have to learn how to be bad.
(kalman)
-- bad as in insubordinate and disobedient.
i've seen brilliant labels rise and disappear, clear is one
example -- all the good stuff is not going to get discovered
when there's hundreds of records coming out each week,
and when the desicion to buy it or not is based on the
number of copies pressed.
