You and your mates can go whistle for my hard earned.
I literally have to work 2 hours to buy a US Import.
i should add here that a US import over here (UK) regularly costs £8.
that's, what, $14.
hasn't stopped me spending a tonne of money on this stuff for 15 years
of my life, even when i was out of work. if i didn't love US music i'd
almost be tempted to join that boycott.

as it is i suspect this is just more anti-euro flamebait, that the
usual listmembers will jump on to further make a point. i wouldn't want
to tar all US folk with the same brush as dj mani/Renegade808 (sorry
man, but i have to name you here as you thought it wise to post this to
the list) would like to with europeans.
techno is a worldwide phenomena. it didn't develop in a vacuum, it has
influences from every part of the world with Europe being a huge part
of that. good music is good music. i mean maybe the fact that techno
is appreciated a lot more in Europe is a problem for some people....but
that is not the fault of Europeans and to point the finger in that
direction is unfair.
It's more likely to be the fault of other Americans (radio playlist
policy, govt. influence on licensing laws, racism, homophobia, police
attitude to clubs....i don't know the real reason).
