RE: (313) do not hate on discogs
I'd have to stand up for Discogs as well. They don't go out and track down every release's information and input it themselves; they rely on the contributors for accuracy but it doesn't always work out that way. I use it as a reference, not an end all...

Im just one of the many free users and am not affiliated with the site by any other means, but I still have to stand up for them if you feel it necissary to besmirch their name. Discogs has been very helpful to me in the past. I can only recollect a fraction of the many times I have found discogs to be totally helpful. Knowledge is power, and there is a lot you can learn if your are willing to spend some time researching discogs. its also totally free, you dont even have to be a member to search its information libraries. And is it so unthinkable and unforgivable that there would be spotty information about Basic Channel? I consider myself a fairly well informed member of the under ground community, and even i think all the basic channel records look alike. Artists like von oswald arent about advertising themselves nearly as much as you do for yourself.

Re: (313) do not hate on discogs
The last couple of weeks have had the worst stretch of nasty language and out-and-out personal attacks that I can recall in nearly 10 years on 313. It's annoying at best and doesn't do anything to convince us that you are right. out fred
