Mandatory Affirmative-Action Quotas for Record Collections

everyone should have at least one queercore release.

Only slightly OT: I had a friend back in high school (previous century) who kept his record collection *segregated*. As in black and white. With a small section for integrated groups like, say, the English Beat. He said he di it to better reflect the realityof the world at large; he'd stop doing it when the world changed. Which was the kind of grand statement/joke we all used to make quite a lot then. back in high school (previous century).

does the queercore remix 12" count for anything? other than proving i'll buy anything for $2.

going by my collection, i think i have a proportional black/white mix going on, with the hispanic black/death metal population adequately represented. but i have a disproportionate amount of ethiopians...

I have a disportiante number of japanese and Indians .

I'm always kind of worried about the dearth of female musicians in my collection, but I'm not sure what to do about it. It's strange, too, because my tastes could hardly be classified as "testosterone-fueled" or anything, but I don't have much music by women at all.

I have a disproportionate number of British instead of Amurricans. That's merely so that when the Colonies are returned to the Mother Country - ala Hong Kong - I'm not taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot.

That would mean more French pop tunes for moi. How much Mitsou, Celine Dion and Roch Voisine can one handle? Okay so it could mean more MC Solar (contental but whose keeping track) and Julie Doiron.
