I'm sure you're wrong on this. Just because people listen to Be Your Own Pet or Awesome Color or whatever doesn't mean they're stupid bitches that only listens to what Thurston listens.
Surely if you like a label, you will tend to listen to the bands on this label (for instance, I really am into loads of bands on The Social Registry - Gang Gang Dance, Psychic Ills, Telepathe, Blood On The Wall, Artanker Convoy, Ghost Exits... - or Paw Tracks - Animal Collective and solo related stuff, Black Dice and solo related stuff like that Eric Copeland album, Excepter, Tickley Feather..., so I sure want to discover more bands on that label), and as Thurston owns Ecstatic, it's logical to find people that listen predominently to the music that gets released on Ecstatic Peace, just as you find people that listen to music on Social Registry or SKINGRAFT or Touch & Go or 4AD or whatever. There is probably a largest proportion of Ecstatic Peace worshippers there as you're on a Sonic Youth board, that's logical.
But just because people like music that gets out on Ecstatic Peace doesn't mean they're just listening to music that has Thurston approval... What you're doing is basically provocation.
Me listening to a lot of music on Paw Tracks doesn't mean at all that I only listen to music that has Avey Tare or Panda Bear approval, see.
