Tim you are a jackass. I've paid for every fucking Orb and KLF
release from the start, including all the damn lil System 7 records,
side projects, badorbs, and equisite LX solo records... not to
mention countless UF.OFF t-shirts as gifts for friends. Its time
I put my foot down.
I think the final straw(s) for me was a copy of B&T I never use and
some junky silver Battersea Shield, purchased at the record store.
If you think I'm a thief for using soulseek, fine.. but I think you're
an idiot for paying so much for a few plastic knicknacks that you still
haven't gotten your grubby lil hands on yet. I'd rather listen to
the record now and decide if I wanna buy it, instead of rushing in,
willie nilly.
I know the packaging is probably has some collectability to it,
but I'm not gonna cry over this release being sub-par.. because I spent
nothing. Hell, I even sent my 'stolen' copy out to a bunch of
other 'loser' listees who take great pride in witholding earnings from
their favorite group.
Man, to each their own but occasionally (just like the "winner" needs to be
bashed in the head with a copy of Atlas Shrugged) I make facetious
observations like "you should be bashed in the head with a heavyweight vinyl
copy of Bikes and Trikes. JEEZ, lay off already! OK, BtoM might be a bit
of a waste of time, but IIRC that's not even Orb stuff, just someone saying
"hey, put some stuff you like personally on here as kind of a lark"....

(Who still says 2&3 is damn well worth it and still better than what most
NON-80s/90s-REVOLUTIONARY ARTISTS or even some that SHOULD give it up can
come up with. I mean shit, Chemical Bros and Prodigy have new stuff? And
Depeche Mode ("I've been DJing quite a bit so I like bigger beats now" - ML
Gore "Oh yeah, you kicked me out of the band for that shit" - Alan Wilder
(not a real quote)) thinks they can release a techno album? Are you fucking
serious?)
