Uh, not unless blarg or whatever his name is didn't tell us about half the
stuff on the page here. (And note that I based my original comment on
the lists he posted.)

I count all these as easy to find: (You can get most of them from cdnow)

merzbow - ECOBONDAGE (ae rmx)
spacetime continuum - STRING OF PEARLS (ae rmx)
scorn - FALLING (ae rmx)
softballet
Mike Ink: Paroles (ae rmx)
Gescom: May Ae
Slowly: On the Loose (ae rmx)
Kinesthesia: Sang (ae rmx)

These ones are the harder to find ones. Some of them are actually not
very difficult to come by (like the Palmskin one).

palmskin productions
beaumont hannant - PSI-ONYX (ae rmx)
lamb - GOLD (ae rmx)
autechre - BASSCADOUBLEMX (rmx by beaumont hannant)
ae: 12/4 cadetmx (reproduced by beaumont hannant)
Impulse: one-six-four-seven (ae rmx)
St. Etienne: Like a Motorway (ae rmx)
Gescom: Keynell (a side and b side)

So that's eight easy to find tracks and eight harder to find tracks that
he mentioned on the list. My math skills might be shaky but it looks to me
more like a 50-50 than a 15-85% ratio. (In other words, "half the tracks,"
like I said to begin with.)

>while.

This was a mistake on my part, I could've sworn it was on Casino
Classics. Too bad it's not more readily available, it's one of Ae's
worthwhile tracks.

>you go ahead and try to find most of the stuff we put up, you
>can't, you really can't.  

Even if that were true, it's no excuse. You were doing something bad and
you got caught. When this happens to adults, they own up and move on.

>and since when were you the voice of the public?

I've *always* been the voice of the public.
