| well if that was in reference to my post... that's not what I meant by "keeping it to yourself". I said it to illustrate that there's a lot of half-assed bull out there that people put out to feed their egos. The internet isn't a magical, automatic source of enlightenment... you still gotta search the good underground out. |

ahh, ok then. yeah the blog culture is pretty terrible sometimes
still I think there are some blogs that manage to stay true to the underground sensibility
examples are

Yeah - I didn't really mean to say that I thought Adam's post was an argument against the one you were making, just that I agreed with his post and motivations for spinning in general.
And as for terms like "underground" in general - it's generally been my experience that people who use them in the context of "Hey, check out this sick new underground record", or something similar, aren't really concerned with actually sifting through the chaff to get to the wheat, they just want an excuse to use the term.
The whole game of "Which hipster can one-up the other with the most "underground" record?" really just sickens me in general. |
