Correct. I would be missing out on some fantastic music, as I'm sure I am by
not purchasing Muslimgauze CDs, but you know, I can live with that.

For you. If you want to close your eyes to the fact that you are putting money
in the pocket of someone who wishes or does horrible things, that's your
prerogative. For me personally, I can't actively support that.
That said, I do own three CDs with Muslimgauze on them, all on incoming!
Records. He did a track for their first Serenity Dub compilation, and has
remixed Unitone HiFi and Nonplace Urban Field on their respective remix CDs. I
wish he wasn't there, but I take comfort that most of the money I put into those
CDs is going to other people whom I like very much. Is it hypocritical of me?
Maybe, but I live with that, too. We all make difficult choices.
