nah, that'd be the record companies you're giving all your money toostrichsyndrome said:music thieves
thats exactly why i have a problem forking over 20 yoyo for an album. approx 50 cents of that 20 quid goes to the artist, the remainder goes straight to the record company's bottom line or the record company exec's waistline. i know its not a solution but for me its absolutely preferable that the record company not get my money and the artist get shafted than the record company getting my money and the artist getting shafted.ostrichsyndrome said:instead of bastards who deprive artists of even the small percentage of royalties they get from cd sales.
nyeh! no guilt here.ostrichsyndrome said:music thieves
I can also vouch for this - most of records i`ve been getting over the last year have been via trading.swingkid said:.........and
viva la vinyl for the real record trading nerds
how would we go about setting up a compilation CD collective on thumped.
Where do people get most of their music these days? And whats the deciding factor for where to pick up new music? I went through a phase for about 2 years where i didnt buy a single CD purely because the things were getting so expensive - the euro changeover meant that paying anything upto €20 for a cd was meant to be acceptable. So i'd spend a load of time on the fileshare sites and with a bit of work get exactly what i wanted and burn it to cd. You could download stuff you'd only heard about on a whim and try it before (not) buying it. But then i missed the happiness of holding a new CD with artwork etc in my hand, sniffing the cover and reading the sleeve notes and all that nerdy stuff. I've recently started buying CDs of some of the better music I downloaded for free. On the web Amazon is great for the majority of stuff. With a weaker dollar and even including postage and packaging a new release can work out anwhere between 20% and 40% cheaper than in your average dublin record store.
I'm basically looking for a list of the places hardened music fans go to get new music A) on the net B) record shops in town C) fileshare or pay as you go mp3 sites
Any price comparisons between the price of a new release in Tower/HMV or Road/Freebird? I generally find Tower a little less expensive and with a slightly better selection than HMV. Haven't been to Freebird in years but they were generally a little more expensive too. Then there's the argument of supporting your local independent record shop and that its worth the extra couple of quid. Is it tho?
I steal mine. Doesn't everyone?
The only place I ever buy a CD is at a gig.
Can we rename Thumped, ThinkingOutLoud.com
Cos its happening a lot lately...
