Actually, I do. A selfish view, I know, but one of the things I like about
the music I like, is that I *don't* hear it every time I turn the radio or
TV on, or whenever I go to the supermarket.

If something becomes commercially acceptable it naturally follows that it
will receive more airplay - and consequently I become sick of it a lot
quicker.

I'd much rather the music I like remain underground, off the radio, and out
of the mainstream.

Marc.
