This is a session done at the KEXP studios live by a group called “Wimps”.  I enjoy their music.  It’s simple but honest.

     It’s funny to reflect on what RIAA and the record companies were all telling us when Napster came out.  They told us that music would die as the result of free Internet distribution whether it was piracy or groups just making their material available free.

     Actually the only threat has turned out to be to their profits which are still exorbitant. The music has proliferated like never before in my life.  There is SO many good artists making great art.  Not only that, but I’m finding out about groups that existed even back then but got no exposure because either the labels didn’t like their politics or they weren’t willing to sign shitty contracts.
