In contrast to my previous email I'd say that
(although I haven't seen their website yet!)
a completely unuseable and quirky Skam website
would make a lot of sense. Think about it - these
are the guys releasing all those impossibly rare Mask
and Smak series - it's like trainspotters heaven (hell?)
Having a website that no one could figure out perfectly
compliments the whole philosophy of fuck 'em all. If these
guys gave a damn don't you think they'd release more copies
of their best? How about some represses or a discog? Some
contact info? Some less mysterious artist details? Doesn't
seem like their interested in all that big record label type stuff.
Then again, it's quite possible that I haven't got a clue what I'm
talking about with this email so feel free to delete and ignore...
Yowza!
