Is there a dick in my brain or is everyone missing the obvious? Burger Records is something worth bitching about for the plain and simple reason that they are STYLE/SUBSTANCE POACHERS. They invest NOTHING into ANYTHING. Wow, they put on SHOWS. BIG DEAL DUMBASSES. I can PUT ON A SHOW for free too. I can also release a zillion cassettes a year for $100 for 100 copies. WHOA MAN, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE THAT $$$$$ BACK?!!! They bank on labels like me putting out good shit on ACTUAL VINYL and ACTUALLY GIVING A FUCK...ACTUALLY TAKING A RISK...and then they go behind my back (and tons of other labels' backs too) and just swoop in AFTER A BAND GETS POPULAR and asks them directly if THEY WANNA DO A TAPE VERSION ON BURGER. It's a lame move because it makes the entire substance of "Burger Records" basically being some retarded glorified TAPE COLLECTOR who collects OTHER PEOPLES RELEASES onto a few tapes and then calls themselves a fucking label. Give me a break. They MIGHT be changing their "business model" now....now that they've sold 2,500 KING TUFF REISSUED TAPES....but this model I described is pretty much the ESSENCE and the CORE of what the fuck BURGER "RECORDS" (HOLY FUCK, CAN I GET EXTRA QUOTES WITH THAT>>
?!!!) actually was. I really don't care that someone releases a ton of tapes...but that;s not what this is. This is straight up taking credit for everyone elses good taste/sense of what the fuck is going on...then paying some measly investment and treating EVERYTHING like a minor task to get done with NO LOVE FOR IT. Its like a race to get tapes done....like they are little scene cred points. "Oh cool, got another point for being on top of that trend now!" TAPES ARE FINE. JUST FIND YOUR OWN BANDS, RECORD NEW MUSIC, MAKE NEW ART, AND PROMOTE IT YOUR GOD DAMN SELF YOU FUCKING CA FAGGOT LEECHES.
I wish you were standing in front of me so I could beat the ever loving piss out of you right now. Motherfucker you are one to talk. How about not responding to emails and being a bitch and going back on deals you made with other labels? You are the biggest shithead in the business. FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!! You know nothing about Burger records or really anything else. You are a rich kid who got lucky with some releases and that's it.
EAT A FOSSILIZED DINOSAUR DICK!!!!!!!
I already fucking explained to you before that TODD WENT AHEAD AND PRESSED THAT LENGUAS LARGAS LP WITHOUT TELLING ME and THEN SENT THE BILL. I PAID HIM BACK. WHAT THE FUCKIN HELL. ALSO...get your fucking facts straight. Call my credit card company and ask them how rich I am....a rich kid doesnt have like $15,000 in ALL LABEL RELATED DEBT. But thats how I roll to make shit happen. Ask them how much I owe to them. Ask my wife why I can't ever buy shit because everything I scrimp out of my life goes into putting out quality releases I care about. Ask Todd if I paid him back. THEN COME ON HERE AND REPORT YOUR FINDINGS.
I AM ONE TO TALK ABOUT THIS because they poach a ton of my shit. The same shit I am in debt for producing in the first place, is that shit they make cassettes a dime a dozen of. I know enough about Burger Records to know that bands keep emailing me with the same line of, "hey burger wants to do a tape...." and that when I ask them to TELL BURGER RECORDS TO CONTACT ME ABOUT IT they never do....then...eventually I just say fuck it do it.
todd has already told us over and over how you NEVER GAVE HIM A CENT and kept the records, and then FINALLY sent him the records back after months of hounding. Just so customers don't feel like you only do that to them.
do you own the recordings? you didn't own the lenguas recordings and never have given us any money for them or even for the records you have sold. Burger is a label run by excellent dudes, you are a shitmouth. They do more by booking FREE shows at their store and PAYING THE TOURING BANDS THAT PLAY THEM, then you do with all your releases that you will make until after you are dead and gone. Burger put out vinyl way before they ever put out tapes, and continue to and put out tons of bands that no one else does
PLASTIC BAG BABY IT UP MATT YOU FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
