Nice to see a junior high chick front a hardcore band. Not enough of that anymore.

who fucking cares about any of this? why is it a problem? get real fucking problems.

Obviously guy, we could say that about every thread on here. But these are called conversations so if you don't want to be involved in this one find another thread.

Can anything be done to stop this from happening?

All you cool bros need to start humping litters of kids into your wives/girlfriends and then raisin' 'em up as vinyl-firsters. Trained young they are format fetishists for life. Could use: entire generation.

I'd like to think I'm part of the solution. The mom of my son's friend said my boy, seven, seemed shocked when after deciding to listen to music together learned his friend did not have a record player.

Of course his favorite artist is Katy Perry.

Some of these comps will go into the hands of 17 year-old music fanatics, who will get hooked on the history and the mystery and start tunneling into the cultural detritus for originals and for "stuff that sounds like this".

doubtful.

you guys are really showing your age in this thread.

How do you think this works? Culture only continues by understanding and giving knowledge to succeeding generations. It's not an age thing, it's a simple understanding of life thing.

Sounds to me like you guys are bitter about all the time and money you've put into this, and believe I understand that can be frustrating (to think you found some gem and then see it on a comp, I've been there), but I'm too busy listening to music

Isn't this shit on spotify? These valuable cultural artifacts are just more post consumer waste. The market for this physical product bullshit has contracted for years, I don't understand how you guys are even arguing for more blah gateway physical product. Make something important, not some redundant  luxury waste for clueless armchair connoisseurship. It devalues our collective existence. I think your imagined potential for opening doors is way overblown. I mean, maybe this would be a cool cd to be given away free with a subscription or whatever. This is KTEL

Our collective existence isn't predicated on obscurity or alientaion, it's based on a shared interest, we're an interpretive community, no different than Raider Nation or Parrotheads, let's not forget that. Everything you own, everything you buy is being curated for you by someone, from the grocery store to the Goodwill, you are not above the matrix.

I'm not against any of this, the essays, the board game ephemera, etc. The problem here, after reading this entire thoroughly enjoyable thread, seems to be obscurity vs. availability and whether or not that means something should be curated. I don't begrudge anyone for making Studio One coffee table books or post-punk compendiums, I see these labels as novelty museums, some I like some I don't. My favorite is Mississippi who frankly do it right by treating these type of collections as mix-tapes they're fortunate enough to press on wax. Like denkinger implied a few posts back, who gives a shit if these records end up as gift-bag core, eventually everything you love right now will be worth $2 at a church thrift store (guaranteed we'll be making clocks and ashtrays out of Oh Sees records ten years down the line) and some kid who doesn't sit at a desk like the lot us of talking shit about who has the copyright on authenticity will fork over the cash and have his fucking mind blown.

You're a guardian pop culture, not the Shroud of Turin.

Music Shit / Re: music festivals

I went to Bonnaroo two years in a row a couple years ago and though that ain't my scene nor my type of tunes, I had a fucking blast. Good hippie vibes going around, tons of drugs, booze and food was fairly cheap (for festival food).

As for underground try The Fest Halloween weekend in Gainesville. It's like a three day kegger. Don't plan on sleeping for that one.

The Long Good Friday is one of my favorites. Shitty news.

Great movie and this is shitty news. I loved Who Framed Roger Rabbit & Mermaids when I was growing up and this dude brought the thunder in both.

what an asshole.

CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

The Warrior look? No. The weird Burning Man vibe at Coachella (sans the danger)? Sure.

Only if I like the region. For example in the 90's and early aughts I was way into No Idea Records and everything going on in Gainesville. I still buy anything I can from the region from the era, but I don't really keep up on what's new. Same goes for East L.A. I go for the East Side Sound, love that shit, grew up with it on the radio so if I find old Lil' Julian Herrera or Ray & Rene records I grab them. But I don't give a fuck about what's going on in the East L.A. scene now.

I think it's brave to stick one place, like say all eras and genres of music from Houston. I bet you have to wallow through quite a bit of shit to get to the gems. Of course, when a record you discover is good there's nothing better.
