I especially hate how the curating institutions are so dominated by English and Amerikan artists.

    I love soundway records. I've been onto them for years. Compilations do have their issues though. For one, there's a bottleneck, I've found it difficult to click through to get individual projects from featured artists. Secondly, sometimes when you do get through it sounds different which raises another issue: did the medium become the message? Are these labels simply marketing existing music to a new market or is the content changed in its commodification. The rift between how absent the accordion is on these projects compared to it's historical prominence is just one example of how that might play out.

    I guess one of the paradoxes is I want music to listen to offline but all methods require being yet more online.
