[NewMusic] [BA-NEWMUS:50] Re: 21 Grand Brass Band

I agree with Weasel here.  I have to say, that as much
as I respect the DIY aspect of things, I really am not
interested in checking out recordings put out on the
internet, on CDRs with shitty packaging, etc.  My
feeling being that if the music is not good enough to
put in the effort to make a professional looking
product then it is probably not worth my time or money
to check out.
