The editors of a certain music publication burn mix cds of stuff that they like, mixing accesible fare like The Go! Team with the Locust and such. Then they drop off the things in coffee shops where the *straight but indie-curious* hang out. Seeding the potential readers, as it were. There's no identifying features beyond the track list- they're just trying to open up minds and ears.

copyright is theft!

for free is the best way in the world to completely devalue it. The
vast majority of those CDs would go straight into the landfill.
