[Goldy Vercetti]

download first, if i like it, then buy a cd

[masta.z]

now think of this an artist probaly only gets $2 out of that $20 to $30 I pay for a CD wheres teh ret go?? to the music industry there the ones whos getting the shits there the ones losing out.

$2 outa $20??? BS it's more like $0.02 than $2 with all the big-name labels such as sony, etc... mebbe on some of the lesser labels such as fat wrech-chords (a great label btw) do the artists get a decent share of the cd sales but the large record labels pay their "artists" (some of whom have less than no talent) absolutelly fuck all... the only way those artists make money is from tours/merch at tours or endorsements by companies such as pepsi etc...
[/rant]
as for whether i buy cd's or not i do occasionally when i can a) afford them and b) if they have special-edition stuff (bonus dvd, etc) but other than that i'd rather spend money on going to the live shows and supporting the artists and not the corporate labels that have more money than anyone needs... now all i need is for me to have money and decent artists to come to ottawa (grrenday's f****n sold out already )

I buy at least 2 CD's a month. It's an addiction.

[twotonescrotum]

Occasionally. If I have some extra $$$ lying around or if its a album where the sound quality really matters, something like Mogwai or Sigur Ros...

[Alien5]

i havent bought a cd for months, the last one i bought was from a bargain bucket, you can find somethings you wont find anywhere else.

[pusher]

I still buy CDs but not very often. The last disc I bought was Brian Eno's Apollo.
