Just so we know

"Consumers have musical choice? What musical choice? In or society we choose only from what we are given to choose from, and that choice is determined by 5 major media corporations who control the exposure outlets that consumers depend on for their entertainment." -Christopher Knab

 "Record companies like to make money, and that is their only goal. They do not care about the content that they sell - they care about maximizing their profits. It is because of this that I hate record companies with the same passion that I hate venture capitalists. The record companies do not try to foster a creative environment which rewards musicians who serve their respective niche, but create an environment which attempts to market a small amount of music to the largest audience possible. It is more profitable for the record company to sell a few decent records in bulk than to have a vast array of cult hits that sell decently." -Numair Faraz

"This is all about greed, something the record/entertainment industry has honed to a science. Dusty LPs, the artists, they don't care! But if there's a nickel on the floor, look out; they'll cut your throat for it because they 'need' that nickel. Artists get paid a small sum, then the capital boys live off them like kings until the next big thing, then it's over. So it's not about the music you see it's about their nickel. That's why you can't have any sharing of long gone music, because there might be a nickel there and they want it. They wouldn't give to a charity if it wasn't showing them handing over a cheque or had a building named after them so why would they be charitable on long lost material. Strangely they even tried to stop resale of used CDs because there was that darned nickel they wouldn't get. May all the 'industry suits' have children who hate them." -Jannx

OMER SAAR - THE GREEN ALBUM (2008)



Hello everybody, since I'm currently dealing with a few private things that demand my attention, I have not been able to do a regular post on my blog. Let's hope things will run smoothly again soon.

In the meantime I have decided to deliver you today's share as a support post for a good cause, initiated by Omer from Universoul Productions.

Omer has been working on a project based on Al Green's legacy, mixed over existing hiphop cuts, while at the same time he is trying to raise money for the Stay True initiative of Philadelphia. His goal is to spread his project all over the globe and of course to get as much donations as possible. I gladly support him on this. You can read the full story, including download links, right HERE. Donations to Stay True can be made here.

For the lazy visitors I re-upped Omer's project here, completely according Omer's wish to spread the album as widely as possible.
