Barely Breaking Even

There was a discount offer at BBE and although I could use my santa money for something else, I somehow had the urge to spend the money on some records I always wanted to buy but never did.
The offer was 50% off on everything. In the end, I ordered 4 CDs I might have been able to download too, but I felt like supporting good music, so I did.
Somehow, I have little problems downloading music from majors, but even then, if the album was good, I still go and support it.(I realise that I talked about this in some post before, but either way..)
But I can't do anything else but support BBE. BBE is a label run by Pete Adarkwah, who is also an Arsenal fan, like all decent people in London. It's run by music fans and it gives the people working with them an incredible amount of freedom. When a record is released on BBE, you really feel that these guys are real fans of music and they released an album they would buy and listen to themselves.
They also had a pretty big 11th anniversary party, where DJ Premier and Marley Marl were on the decks. I personally would have broken an ankle to be there, but couldn't make it by any means to London.(Jazzy Jeff was at their 10th anniversary...that's leg and ankle)
Either way, I personally believe that music needs more labels and people like Pete, BBE, ABB, Saddle Creek, Ed Banger and whatever else. These people really try to change music and the way the industry is going. If you like music, support is a must for these people.
