Though I do think that it'd be good for every "token" purchase made to be offset by a non-token purchase. So, for instance, if you're gonna buy _Slanted & Enchanted_, you have to buy a Nothing Painted Blue album. For every Tribe Called Quest joint, pick up Prince Paul or Gravediggaz. Each copy of _Kind of Blue_ must be matched with a copy of _Dancing in Your Head_ (which MIGHT be a bit jarring - perhaps Sun Ra would be a better choice). You get the idea, tho.
This could also be used to educate some listeners - for instance, slipping a copy of _Hex Enduction Hour_ in with the Pavement. That is, if they're curious about history and the roots of various things - some folks couldn't give two figs, and I can't blame them.

Not to imply yours is wrong, or anything. Rounder is supposedly collecting some of that stuff for U.S. release, but they officially deny it.

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...
