beyond the aesthetic calls, can we agree that sonic youth might have
had a hard time surviving those first few years if the people who
liked their messy noise had obtained high-quality recordings for free
instead of buying them / if SST hadn't been able to stay in the black?

can you just please respect that point?

i'll i'm saying is that people should pay for the music they listen
to. maybe that just means buying a ticket to a show once in a while.
but the old model worked pretty well, where you bought a ticket,
evaluated the live music, and then were given a choice whether to
spend more on the recording. now you buy a ticket and watch the  show
and go home and download the record, if you're like most people.\

i swear to god, once nanofaxes become cheap and popular, and people's
e.g. sheet metal fabriction skills can no longer be compensated, we're
going to hear a different tune from a lot of folks.
