RE: (313) ugly edits (full detail)
I dunno about this whole thing here. I've spoken with Kai and Theo about
them boots and the way I understood it, the edits series was more of a
tribute to those records he feels are especially influential and hard to
trak down, but are personally important as well. Theo is a genuine music
lover in the deepest sense of the word and the edits are pored over
laboriously and worked in ways that display the affection he feels for the
originals. I think that comes through in the finished product (albeit still
with theo's trademark). This in mind, I can see why he might object to some
guy who doesn't give the boots half a thought ripping him off. Now to be
clear, I'm talking about ripping off someones ideas JUST to capitalise
(which I don't think is/was theo's intentions) and not just the
appropriation of a product in the copywrite sense (which he's obviously
guilty of). Dunno really, there's a fine line there and I really can't tell
which side I stand on. I will say this however, !
If I were an old disco artist, I'd much rather theo/moxie crew/etc. do a
tribute and release it on white than the label realising my "one hit
wonder" is a classic and hire out a bunch of trance monkeys to do remixes
and make a ton of cash off it. And I can tell you honestly, he ain't making
THAT much off these anyway. Aight I've prolly said more than I should've,
ain't gonna piss nobody off.
