It is weird seeing the same dumb music industry. It’s strange to see $30-40 records when digital versions are $10-15. I liked buying albums because they were a totem and they included mp3 downloads. Or some even had high resolution flac download (Peter Gabriel was good about this). But the last few didn’t include digital downloads so I had to pirate the digital version. I used to buy a lot of CDs- I think I had 1000+- but the industry just kind of turned me off by suing customers and whatnot. I thought maybe they had learned their lesson, but they still seem like rent seekers sitting on top of artists. As always (like in 2000) there are artists selling directly that are pretty cool. But it’s hard to go to a record store and spend $100 to come away with three records.
