No RIAA artists allowed. The authorities don't care if you steal from the filthy RIAAless artists.
Downloading ltd edition boxsets? smh
I would have bought one if I had the scratch when they came out. There's a lot of stuff in Merzbox that has never been released in any other form, and a lot of stuff in there that is unavailable in any realistic form unless you were like, collecting 7" and tapes in Japan in the early 80s.

You people are all cunts. In celebration of my newly acquired 33 hours of Merzbow:

Oh I'm sure it's a valuable collection in sheer sound value, but as someone who used to trade a bit in limited edition boxsets from various lesser known to down right unknown artists, I've bloody well earned the right to be condemning of network distribution and the resulting ease of finding "rare" gems.
On a related note, I'll have to check into this collection. I was completely unaware of its existence. :-[

I might be off, but I think each Merzbox cost ~500 bucks, and (according to Wiki) there were only 1000 of them made. I was in college at the time it came out, probably at the point in my life where I was listening to the most Merzbow I ever have, so I kinda lusted after it a bit.
This is pretty awesome:
In 2002, Georgia Tech student radio station WREK 91.1 FM aired the Merzbox in its entirety from December 17 to December 19.[citation needed] An article in Creative Loafing described the Merzbow Marathon as "what may be the most obscure and counterintuitive move in the history of radio".[citation needed]

I was gonna split it with a friend of mine when it came out, but we decided it would either drive us to suicide or not get listened to enough to justify the price.
-
ah poop, invite only :(
-

-
god bless your soul.
sadly, i wanted the boxset mainly for the shirt. i would be so proud rocking it.

[Intro]
Ride till I die, Lord knows stay high, and I love it
Let's go!
[Chorus]
We count hundreds on the table, twenty's on the floor
Fresh outta work and on the way with some more
And I love it (yeah!), and I love it
I got gangstas in the crowd, bad bitches at my show
Parked outside, and sitting on vogues
And I love it (yeah!), and love it
[Verse 1]
Once again it's on, I'm back in the motherfucking booth
These niccas still lying, I'm the motherfucking truth (YEEEEEAHHH!)
I don't believe I need some more fucking proof
I ain't want the four door, I copped the motherfucking coupe (HAHA!)
They trying be me, I'm just trying be G
And everything comes to 'em like you'll see
These niccas in the dark baby I'll just shine (SHINE)
I do it from the heart homie they just rhyme (YEEEEEAHHHH!)
Check your watch nicca it's my time (HEY!)
Mind made up I was on my grind (THAT'S RIGHT!))
So pay attention yea you on my time
In that case time waits for no man
Do it again I done that before man (GYEAH!)
M.O.E., he ain't part of the program
Or maybe you niccas ain't listening
Open your eyes I'm a blessing in disguise
[Chorus]
Yea I blew up, but they like that
They switched up on me, and I ain't like that
Sold my first brick yea, I came right back
Fast forward the tape, nicca look at me now
And I never turn back, so motherfuck that
Nikes on the ground got my head to the sky
Smoked all day, Lord knows I stay high
Stay on top, Lord knows I'm gon' try
And live for the moment, Lord knows I'm gon' die
And when I get to hell, Lord knows I'm gon' fry
Woke up this morning so I'm still alive
36 O's I sold them all for five
[Chorus]
Been around the world, it's the same ol' caine
Been around the world, it's the same ol' thang (True)
All the real niccas either dead or in jail
And if you're looking for me homie, I'm in the A-T-L
You gotta play it how it go, you can't cheat on life (YEAAAAH!)
Ya better drink a Red Bull, you can't sleep on life
I ain't tryna do you, I'm tryin' do me
Last album did two, I'm just tryin' do three
Fresh out the pot yea the work was hard
Ride with the top down so I'm closer to God
My P.O. telling me I need a 9 to 5
But I already got a job, and that's staying alive cuz ima fucking beast yeaa
[Chorus]
[Repeat Intro till fade]
