Scarpia 132 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 This is just the beginning! The only thing that actually sold better in 2015 were vinyl albums. I should start considering a turntable, for when they start releasing expanded versions of Williams' scores in LP. Everything returns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Not only that, but there was noticeably less music purchased in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 People are buying less music now because its so easy to stream it. Spotify is one of the best and most useful apps I've ever had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Listening to downloaded music at the computer was a cool gimmick in 2000-'01, but I couldn't imagine doing it all the time like people seem to these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go on purchasing binges. Spotify has cured me of some of my materialistic urges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Computer, wha? I listen to spotify at work; working out; cleaning; doing laundry; driving around; playing poker; washing dishes; making dinner; etc. Get with the times man!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 He's just trolling again. Soon he will respond that he prefers listening to music on MiniDisc or cassete tape rather then via streaming. Yawn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If I had more money I would still prefer to buy CDs. As it is, it's more cost-effective to stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'll never stop buying CDs. You rip them once, put them on the shelf, then listen to digital files forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I haven't completely stopped buying them, just not as many as I used to. I'm much more selective now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely bypassed minidiscs because they were an exotic late-1990s tech that came and went, and my parents couldn't afford it. 25 minutes ago, Jay said: Computer, wha?

I believe serious music listening should be reserved for when you're sitting on your lounge in front of your hi-fi, put your CD* in the player, press play and let it go from beginning to end. The current music-on-the-go movement is too mind-boggling for me. Why distract yourself with other mundane tasks of your daily routine while the music is calling for your undivided attention? Is this the way people carry on at concert halls now, surfing the net, checking emails, playing with themselves? *or LP if that's what you're into - I'm too scared to play them or else I'll wear them out.

Well, people are cheering whenever they recognize a melody, so you can't even listen to the music there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Do you want in on the ground floor for 8-track and Betamax? Let me know if you're interested, I'm pooling assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarpia 132 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Walking canes should make a come back. I'd really love to sport one while walking nonchalantly. Or much better still, extensive use of white tie! And black tie, for the more informal ocassions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriving at the restaurant or any other event with your finery on in one of those would add a touch of class to the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've read White Tie still gets much love in Finland, is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
