Your brother, I believe, heeded my advice. You should listen to me when I tell you things. Now go buy me my robot hand, damn it!<BR/><BR/>Second, I utterly agree with Emo. Well said.<BR/><BR/>Third, I have to take umbrage with our glorification of the mp3 age and allowing you to purchase only singles. Yes, there are some albums that contain a lot of fluff and crap. However, your rationale would have 90% of my music collection consisting solely of what Radio tells me I like. While a single may drive me to a CD, often times, I enjoy other tracks more and these are songs I would not have found if I had not purchased the whole CD. Yeah, these days, getting a whole disc can be a gamble, but there's still a big upside to that risk, and I for one intend to continue going the full-album route, with only the rare individual track here or there. If you're only going to download the tracks you've heard already and like, then why buy your music - just listen to the radio all day...seth fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852455524915954996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624260.post-1117045367796752702005-05-25T11:22:00.000-07:002005-05-25T11:22:00.000-07:00Fair enough.

To the contrary, numbers actually show that bands the more bands "suffer" from internet downloads, the higher their album sales go. Don't believe the record companies. Despite their numbers being down in the early part of the century (2000, 2001)... they've been climbing and are in the positive growth percentages again. In short, they're not hurting. Even the less-fast growth in sales which record companies are experiencing now is mostly attributable to general agreement in the lack of quality artists, consolidation by the majors which crushed the indies, lack of independent radio which historically broke the biggest selling talent, and a consuming public which is no longer replacing their LP and tape collections with CDs because they've already re-bought them all. I shed not a tear for the record company saying "But we want to be making MORE money that we did last year and more money next year than we did this year. Anything else is a failure and it must be technology that needs to be stopped."EmoRiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832669840890970845noreply@blogger.com
