[edit] Redid some stuff...

I just made a fairly sizeable edit, although in actuality, it was really just a ton of small (slightly nitpicky) edits. Basically, I:

  • Rearranged, reworded, rewrote, and expanded stuff
    • Redid intro section, almost rewrote whole thing
    • Updated and expanded projects section
  • I updated the "current roster"
    • Took out artists who haven't released stuff in a long time (not really "active" anymore then)
    • Added a few artists who've recently become "active" by releasing new material, and added new artist (sole and the skyrider band)
  • Updated "See also" section
    • Added Abstract Hip Hop link, put it on top (since it links back to anticon, and also links to several other labels similar to anticon, like Def Jux and Rhymesayers)
    • Added link on Indie rock, since some of the material anticon has put out recently is indie rock

Hopefully nobody protests these changes too much. If you disagree with something I did, please don't revert the whole edit; change the individual thing yourself.Shnakepup 06:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Closely associated?

In the list of artists that "are or have been closely associated with anticon", it lists Mike Patton. What has he done with anticon.? I was interested to hear it and did a bit of searching and couldn't find anything. This would surely imply he wasn't "closely associated".Febodyed 13:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

  • It would seem i didn't look that hard. still, the album that doseone and jel are on isn't out yet (if i'm right) and i'd still say he wasn't closely associatedFebodyed 15:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Mike Patton appeared on Odd Nosdam's Burner. That alone probably doesn't constitute "close association", but it's something. — TheJames 14:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

What about Dosh? He is with Anticon as much as the others... how do you define that list?

[edit] Alias & Ehren

Should Alias & Ehren be in the list? --Anthony5429 14:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I made an article for Alias, and also did an album article for Lillian. Hopefully that is good enough...Alias did more a collaboration with Ehren. It's not like they're a group or anything, like Themselves. Otherwise, "Themselves" would just be called "Dose one & Jel".Shnakepup 16:29, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I concure. Group or just a collaboration, Alias & Tarsier deserve some attention as well. LetterGo 03:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ANTICON SUCKS

Especially Clouddead and Deep Puddle Dynamics. Can't believe I subjected my ears to such garbage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.238.49.65 (talk) 23:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
