Correct. I would be missing out on some fantastic music, as I'm sure I am by not purchasing Muslimgauze CDs, but you know, I can live with that. > That's total B.S. !!! First of all I really care only about > person's music, he can be Croatian, lesbian, baseball player, > necrofil, child raper, ... anything, just name it For you. If you want to close your eyes to the fact that you are putting money in the pocket of someone who wishes or does horrible things, that's your prerogative. For me personally, I can't actively support that. That said, I do own three CDs with Muslimgauze on them, all on incoming! Records. He did a track for their first Serenity Dub compilation, and has remixed Unitone HiFi and Nonplace Urban Field on their respective remix CDs. I wish he wasn't there, but I take comfort that most of the money I put into those CDs is going to other people whom I like very much. Is it hypocritical of me? Maybe, but I live with that, too.
