Obscure non-major label music needs your money way more than the mainstream stuff. Just sayin'


Out of print then? How about asshole bands that purposely under run their shit just to charge absurd prices to collector scum on ebay. It's absolutely hysterical how much assholes will shell out for some ultra limited edition of the latest Sunn O))) vinyl or pay over $100 for the first capitalist casualties 7" (how's that for irony) I guess it depends on your definition of a small label also. There's been tons of horror stories of bands saying how much it sucked ass to be on Relapse. I think it's kind of a straw man argument to say CD units being moved actually translates into any kind of profit for the band unless they are literally making them their selves. I think they'd much rather you pay to see them live or buy a T-Shirt.
