Yes, buying CD’s from Artists could be made easier.
I tried to buy Lonelady’s CD, from their website. But you had to register with them, give all your details etc, something which I did not want to do, so I emailed them, told them I didnt want to register, and how could I buy their CD. I got the answer back ‘you have to register to buy’.
I got a 2nd hand one off ebay then.
How do you expect them to know who to charge and then send it to? Why on earth do you have such an issue with registering on a band’s website?
Most of my friends buy CD’s, most don’t download anything at all. I do, but then I still buy quite a few CD’s as well, most recently the latest by Leonard Cohen, Pixies, Agnes Obel, several classical albums by the cellist Caroline Dale, a couple of Heidi Talbot’s latest albums and a little box set of Linda Ronstadt’s first five albums.
Oh, and the second EP from Bryde, the solo project by Sarah Howells, one half of Paper Aeroplanes, which I bought at her Bristol gig and she sent me as soon as she had them from the pressing plant.
There might have been some downloads for that instant gratification thing as well.
From iTunes, naturally.
Just spent thirty seconds listening to that vid up there ^^…
It’s very…
Ordinary. Maybe even average. That could be from any one of a thousand identical bands plugging away, and doing nothing original at all.
