For the record, I really like the Theivery Corporation's releases so far
and spin them often during my sets. But, from what I've heard about
those guys (and I've never met them, this is just the "buzz" about them
I've heard over the last few years) is that they're not very nice guys,
and that might contribute to the lack of posts about their records. I
mean if you're a dick to people in your local scene then those people
aren't going to go out of their way to help promote your music, even if
it is good... it just makes sense to me at least.
