for me, the trouble with 'the underground' is that i never get to hear anything about the bands. The genius of Crossing Over is that people like me get to hear about bands. I'm not cool, i'm no where near Down with the Kids. I'm not gonna lie, i would never have heard of Sonic Youth if it wasn't for Sugar Kane and 100% getting played on MTV and I've never heard The Jesus Lizard.
So the thing to do for these bands is to get the music and ideas and philosophy (it is a philosophy) (its spelt wrong but it is) across to as many people as possible, and the mainstream is the way forward. Whats the use in a Revolution if only 3 people know about it?
