Notes
Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage - torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians - which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by 'our' side...The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.

Great mix, thanks!

I believe half of my record collection still consists of 80s/90s-Hardcore/Punk/Crust/Grind. And I like it that way.
⃠Space bunny btrxz March 19, 2015
@Deathinteresse I couldn't guess the percentages since my music is too fragmented and unorganized after losing a hard drive a couple years ago, but my biggest areas (in no particular order) are 1) soundtracks 2) indie rock/alternative 3) metal 4) punk/hc and 5) International 50s-70s stuff. Those sections kind of tower over the rest.

@SpaceBunnySounds Oh I was talking about Vinyl only. For digital stuff, I have no idea either!
⃠Space bunny btrxz March 19, 2015
@Deathinteresse Oh right! "Record." Ha. In that case, my 12" records are all over the place and extremely random (I mainly wander in to a record store and buy things I've never heard of with fun covers), though basically all of my 7" records are punk/hc/etc.

Wow, hadn't listened to Hoods in ages...
⃠Space bunny btrxz March 19, 2015
@Deathinteresse Me either! But it's been bugging me how little of my punk/hardcore collection has been used in my mixes so far, and I'm aiming to change that.
⃠Deathinteresse btrxz March 19, 2015
@SpaceBunnySounds Certainly looking forward to that.

I had an agent orange skateboard- Ths is a nostalgic mix hear SBS
⃠Space bunny btrxz March 13, 2015
@Btrxz I have no balance and couldn't skate to save my life! Re: nostalgia: I recently bought a few new hardcore/d-beat/crust purchases from Profane Existence, kind of on a whim, and have been getting back into everything fast, loud, and extreme. I'll be compiling more nostalgic mixes like this until something else shiny catches my eye.

MDC Best concert in my Hardcore show days 83-90
⃠Space bunny btrxz March 13, 2015
@Btrxz I'm so very jealous! My hardcore days mostly consisted of me listening to music alone in my bedroom and trading tapes with people on the Internet.

Without looking it up, that quote sounds very Chomsky-esque.
⃠Space bunny btrxz March 12, 2015
@School97 Due to the 500 character limit, I had to remove the attribution. It's from Orwell, but you're right in suggesting it sounds like Chomsky; it absolutely does! When I was 17 ('97), I discovered both Crass and Chomsky, both of which inform my world views to this very day. Cheers sir!

@School97 My first Crass album was Penis Envy, I have a card catlog that Noam Chomsky used and in 1997 I was in my 30th year.
⃠Space bunny btrxz March 13, 2015
@Btrxz A Chomsky card catalog! Very cool! Penis Envy is my favorite album of theirs. So good.
