Brazil faces similar problems the states do really. There are so few shops that pick up smaller distributors that it is ridiculous. The very few shops in the U.S. that get their hands on anything Jaxx or Pure Plastic related (for example) are snatched up right away. I've been begging the shop here to buy into smaller distributors but they're being pussies about it. Record buying in the U.S. is a ****in' joke as well. While sometimes it's the fault of the label for not getting itself out there, the distributor plays a very big part of the problem as well.

I think distributors need to drop about half their roster and focus on pushing their roster harder to more shops and people around the world. The reason the numbers are horrible is because you can't get half the shit except for in select areas.
