SR37: I sorry

Alitare wrote: I don't shy away from jazz, although it depends. I love a lot of musics. I don't always go for the most conventional or what have you. I love the Seatbelt's first album, lots of Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday. I used to nearly worship Nick Cave. My favorite prog albums are pretty typical, but I recently got myself into DJ Shadow's Endtroducing, and love it to bits. In ambient, I loved the Blade Runner Soundtrack. Stevie Wonder's one of my favorite artists. I like John Lennon's solo material more than the Beatles. Hmm. maudlin of the Well are one of my favorite acts (I like them so uch I purposely type their name the way it's intended every time, with a lower case 'm' and an upper case 'w' - not for any particular reason)  - I like 'em more than Pain of Salvation. I enjoy the last few Death albums, as well as a good deal of work from Opeth (not Still Life, I don't give half a sh*t about Still Life). I do have 8,000 albums in my collection - my tastes iz quite diverse.

I'm guessing a lot of that is digital. I am nearing 1000 and already having trouble properly organising + finding space. XD

F*cking pissed I couldn't see Converge in Chicago tonight.  F*ck.

Well why couldn't you?
Was it out of your hands/very unrealistic? Cant be too pissed then.

Though you are an angry horny man so idk

Like this if you hate it.



I listened to this earlier.  It's only the first track but you get an idea of my current taste.

James wrote: Jesus Christ Superstar, he came down on a Yamaha. Sorry. I have seen a school production of the musical though. I tend to despise any form of musical.  I don't mind Tommy and War of the Worlds though.  I intend to listen a jazz opera soon too (and not a typical one, obviously).

I even disliked Kew.Rhone and I'm supposed to like it.

Plus you're giving people jobs and paying their wages too if you buy CDs. 

I buy CD's for the collection, to support my record store and the band (though I think quite a pretty penny goes to the record label). EDIT: Yeah as Kevin said, those are the best ways to support em.
I'm totally OK with getting a free listen....cough and if you like it then buy their stuff and see their shows.
Also the file sharing network is great for upcoming bands. Makes it easier for small time bands to get known and maybe make it.

I should see if I can dig up the brief paper I wrote on why illegal downloading is fine in terms of economics, for the lulz

I'm not anti-downloading by the way.  I do try-before-I-buy usually.  Unless it's oop or I'm really really short of money.

And yes, by buying from Wayside and ReR, I'm supporting artists and record stores.  My local stores rarely have what I want.  They did have the most recent VdGG though.
