Hey y'all,
Fifteen minutes of searching for it around the archive page didn't help me, so I'm going to defer to the knowledge of the crowds - I remember, years ago, reading about this record label(?) that Thurston (and maybe Kim?) were supporting or very strongly involved in around the time of the Iraq War. The plan, as I'd read about it, was that they would get vinyl records pressed and encourage people to hide them away in their local record store for someone to discover, and the records were experimental anti-war stuff by various artists (I remember that one piece was supposedly a George W. Bush speech, with all of his actual words cut out, so it was just the reverb of the hall...) It sounds interesting as hell but I didn't make any note of what it was at the time, and now I can't find it. If you have an idea of what I'm talking about, please let me know! I can try and track it down on Soulseek once I know what it is...

update: all of the MP3s from the first five volumes still work, but I wasn't able to get most of 6 or any of 7.

i never used it. it was too late Quote:
that was a chris habib project not a thruston label, hence the confusion chris designed and used to run this forum. he was great at it. i wonder where he went ... oh, look! https://garage.vice.com/en_us/articl...-book-into-art |
