Stuart wasn't saying that *nobody* can romanticize major-label records,
just that "people like Gonzi" can't. People like Gonzi* think "eeew, this
is on a major label and lots of corporate money was spent on creating,
promoting, and marketing it - I'll just buy this *limited-edition* *import*
with Stunning Minimal DR Artwork and "magic gum" that's shaped like the
Rephlex logo and has a Pac Man game on it and the guy who made it has a
Really! Huge! Beard! and drives a tank and smokes a lot of weed and his
studio is in his bedroom and he has a day job!"
* Note that this is not a characterization of Gonzi himself but an

Gonzi.
