Ethan Swan is a NASA Freeze Dried Packet of Good Information

Add water, and he gets smarter, even while living in Switzerland. Today, he sent this great anti-RIAA link, complete with DIY flyer campaign. Download some posters and fight the power!
Also, remember when RIAA issued those anti-piracy artist statements, and Everclear’s Art Alexakis was all, “Downloading takes money out of my kids’ mouths” [sic]?
Ethan reminded me that Artie, who lives in Portland, used to try to get into shows at 17 Nautical Miles for free, an act literally akin taking money out of kids mouths’, because 17 Nautical Miles was a hole-in-the-wall run by a bunch of starving art punks from or around Reed College.
It’s like, dude, Art, YOU DRIVE A LAND ROVER, I think you can pay the fucking five bucks to be one of the 50 kids at the Joan of Arc/Kremlin Bronx/I Live the Life of a Movie Star Secret Hideout gig. (That’s some old school PDX shit.)
