I love how some people think that because this is a small scene, that we should all just keep playing with our toys and not talk about issues...wtf? We are grown up adults who, as far as i am concerned, do this because we believe in it, not just for ourselves, but the greater community and what we can do with it.
The truth is often inconvenient, but it is the truth...you can never hide from it, it will always let itself be known somehow, some way.
I find myself feeling many times like i am the only that actually sees the bigger picture, what we can all accomplish. I am sorry, but i do not wanna hear that Dominance is selling 500 vinyls of some of the most amazing stuff ever heard, or pressing 300 FBI's that we pour are everything into...i want bigger and better things. Not saying i want fame, money and decadence to plague our scene...but surely, we can do a little more.
Just like in our country's politics, you can sit back and watch the whole thing crumble, or you can speak up, be labeled arrogant or petty for doing so; but in the end...you are speaking the truth...
Is anyone gonna seriously tell me that it didnt matter for us to know if Morgan Khan was robbing everyone, manipulating the charts, and god knows what else, while we all keep running around like little girls asking for email votes and being so excited about #1, or #2, supporting the label and just blindly allowing issues to continue brewing?
This is immature imo, and it reflects a larger problem in people...complacency and an unwillingness to speak up....when the truth needs to come out: SPEAK UP!!!!
