idm peeps: oh jeez...i think i.ll put my money on the one with the boards shirt and the boards 12's...those din records are cut so damn nice the couldn.t cut meat...i.ll bet you could cut heads off with the skam boards releases. i had some questions for anyone who can answer them...here we go: 1: anyone know if there are going to be any more blir releases?...i thought there were supposed to be 4 in the series... 2: pole and vladislav delay colab?...true?...anyone know what pole.s doing these days...? 3: anyone know the release dates for phoenecia.s brown out and takeshi.s album... 4: also...when.s that patcha kutek cd coming out on beta bodega... 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...nor are they going to try and do anyting about it...plus...why the secrecy...if bbc is so determined to spread the word of truth and justice...why put the electronic music anonymity veil on?...and the v8 transmission on psych. ops?...if you want to be truthful...why not make something at least coherent. i.m just wondering if the secrecy and mystery surrounding bbc releases is just a marketing ploy...i mean...i e-mailed hamijama about the track titles on cultivar and the damned decoder thing...and he didn.t even seem to know himself. .nother thing...do you really think that the bbc artists are really writing songs to relate the suffering of thrid world peoples?...i don.t know...i.m kid of skeptical that any bbc artist is sitting there saying "how can i make this sound like third world suffering"...well...slap a title like 'skin blisters' on there...or something in a foreign language...and there ya go...instant bbc track. i.m not saying the music isn.t great...which it is...i love it...i buy it...but everything else just seems like a costume to me...kind of an in vain effort...i think the ultra-red releases seem a little more provoking...they seem to be going out there and trying to make a difference in the community and things...just seems like bbc is trying to sell records...(nothing wrong with that though)...still...i.m still wondering about their merits as social spokespeople...i mean...after hearing phonem.s track on needle.s transmissions i.d rather just listen to it again, and again, and nauseam, not go out and make a difference... lemme know what you think...i mean...why didn.t sony mao just tell everyone the needle tracklist...instead of posting abuja or whatever computer server jargon?...come on now...a dude can.t just know who worked on a track? (ps...i know they.re just anagrams and easy to figure out...but whatever...trying to make a point i guess...) please don.t take me too seriously on this one...just a thought while reading the banana republic insert...which is kinda vague...but aren.t they all...? fine music though...and that.s what counts. *lim <clipped>
