this weeks musical purchases.., by walshy on Sept 23, 2010 16:05:55 GMT 1, Well you are still denying the artists money, hypocritical if you ask me.. but we'll leave it there walshy I applaud you for trying to find fault with not paying when it's actually your job, I have to access databases all day for my job but don't pay to access them because my work pays for that - should I be freaking paying? I guess I'm a hypcrite compared to someone who hacks them?
I just think its funny someone is complaining that we don't buy enough music, when he obviously gets into venues and maybe gets music for free.....
If he needs a ticket to do the job fine, if its just to go out on the lash, why not pay ?

this weeks musical purchases.., by Deleted on Sept 23, 2010 16:08:06 GMT 1, The music industry has had more than its fair share of my money from me over the years, and had no problem taking as much of it as they could get away with, so I now have no qualms about getting it for free.
If the music industry had realised what was happening with technology they wouldn't be in the position they are in.
Bands, and independant labels, will dictate the way forward, not big corporate labels with the turning circle of a super tanker.
I now get greater access to so much music because it is free and out there. But I will still buy the occasional CD from the bands I love, so this week I have bought the new Killing Joke CD, Absolute Dissent, out on Monday.
The cat's out the bag, get over it, and work out how to earn money. It's called capitalism, and whether you like it or not, that's how it works.

cool cheers, I still buy E.P's from smaller bands... but no way am I buying music from the guys that have already made it

I think you'll find it's called theft, if it was capitalism than surely it would really be anarchy?

The music industry tried to convince us that 'Home Taping Is Killing Music'. It didn't, and neither will free access. They are worried because money is not as easy to obtain as it once was. They have to come up with 'X-Factor' et al as ways to get people to part with their money. Inotherwords, they will find a way, or other markets. Necessity is the mother of invention, as the saying goes.
A lack of money won't restrict the amount of music that is produced, but what it may do is prevent producers and engineers working with new bands and turning them into something worth listening to. Bands on their own are never the finished article.

So if I record stuff off the radio, is that theft?
At the moment, I record stuff of Spotify - which is perfectly legit.
Anyway, all property is theft.
Your turn.......

this weeks musical purchases.., by ilcania on Sept 23, 2010 19:31:43 GMT 1, wow
just wow
I run rough trade east and organise record store day , I have worked in record stores my whole life.
I find it depressing when people talk about 'the music industry' like it is some kind of monster and feel it is ok to steal music form the big four, have you thought how the big four are helping to support smaller labels and bands ? For instance you might hate warners but they press and distribute Anti which in turn supports people like Tom Waits and Dead Man's Bones, Universal have a myriad of smaller labels such as fiction (who just released the Crystal castles record).
Do you have you so little respect for the people that work in record shops or are under paid and overworked at smaller labels that you are actually proud to be putting them out of work ?
the thing that stirs me on is the amount of kids coming into my store buying records be it vinyl or cd, 12-16 year olds buying records at in-stores , meeting the bands making the connection with physical product.
The argument that 'I have given the music industry enough money in the past so I dont care if i download' is bullshit, I have been buying socks from marks and spencers my whole life I don't suddenly feel that I don't have to pay for them anymore! it is an astonishing attitude to take, why people think it is their god given right to get music and films for free beggars belief.
Sean you might buy prints from POW but you aren't walking in their and taking them off the shelves are you ? You pay for them ..
why ?
Because it's art.
Music is art too.........
And all good art deserves to be treated with the respect it deserves.
wow

I know the arguements as I have worked in the music industry and have been in live entertainment for years; and still am. And over the years, the provision has changed. I'm sure cinema had the same fears when television came along.
Everyone involved in music - from the smallest label to the biggest corporation needs to start realising that this new way of getting music cannot be stopped. Subsequently they have to work out how best to sell their art, and make money from it.
I have no problem paying for music, and still do. But I can also listen to so much more, free of charge.
Music is still being made, and is as good as its always been. The challenge is how to make people pay for it, and I believe most people know that this supports struggling artists.
I don't envy anyone in the music industry, but on another level bands have got access to so much more ways of getting their music heard.
Each new technological advance creates its own panic, but we adapt, and the same will happen with the music industry.

Great post! I make every effort to pay for music, but admit I have some that crept in over the years for free.
Several years ago a friend turned me on to a Libertines disc that was burned. I liked it, so I went out and bought one--it is still sealed as I listen to the burn. He also gave me a Pavement burn. Didn't like it, didn't buy it. I have it, but may never listen to it a second time.
I have also asked artists if I can send digitized songs to friends to turn them on to their music. The answer has always been yes. They see it as a promo they didn't have to pay for. In most cases the songs are from a promo that I have in my collection.

That does not look very clever at a glance! Though I am forgetting about ALL the work the label does.Not trying to point the shitty stick just keeping the balance of two sides to every story and all that

Great tune, but always prefered the smiths to his solo work.
Not that I didnt like his solo work, just never liked it quite as much as the smiths.
The smiths first album came out when I was 15 I think, and it just struck a cord, and I have been a huge fan ever since. Along with the Jam and The Clash, they form my top 3 bands ever. Hand in Glove and What Difference does it Make are just unbeatable classics imo.
Marmite I know - you either love them or hate them.

Yes they did... all the covers from New Order, Joy Division from the Factory Records and the best cover artwork from the 80s and the 90s did by 4AD/23 envelope... Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, etc
I have a lot of records for 4AD and books with the art of Vaughan Oliver at 23 envelope, they are all fantastic works of art

Yeah, fair enough - I was thinking about 4AD when I was writing my last post. Cocteaus all the way through to the Pixies were all great covers - certainly works of art. Exhibition of 4ad work recently illustrated this. Certainly not to be disregarded. But there was just a special place in my heart for the Smiths covers.

this weeks musical purchases.., by jackstranger on Sept 26, 2010 1:28:55 GMT 1, Yes they did... all the covers from New Order, Joy Division from the Factory Records and the best cover artwork from the 80s and the 90s did by 4AD/23 envelope... Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, etc I have a lot of records for 4AD and books with the art of Vaughan Oliver at 23 envelope, they are all fantastic works of art Yeah, fair enough - I was thinking about 4AD when I was writing my last post. Cocteaus all the way through to the Pixies were all great covers - certainly works of art. Exhibition of 4ad work recently illustrated this. Certainly not to be disregarded. But there was just a special place in my heart for the Smiths covers.
I have all of the editions of Lonely is an Eyesore, including the one with the book and it is really amazing artwork (missing the wood box edition... worth thousands and can't be find anywhere)
But I love the Smiths too, I have some of the original LPs and 12"s, great artwork and with a special place in my record collection

I am also thinking about the artwork of Medusa, from Clan of Xymox and of my Japanese editions of the 3 first LPs of Cocteau Twins:)
Talking about 23 envelope artwork is a neverending story, almost everything is very beautiful.

this weeks musical purchases.., by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Sept 26, 2010 2:01:36 GMT 1, Surely its only a matter of time for you Ron.... okay I am getting on & yeah I use to buy vinyl and cd's all the time (and still play them), if there is a band i like international or local i will go to the gig, support them that way... I down load free stuff all the time, its the easy way of discovering new bands. For example there is a guy on 'Isohunt' (Blalock) who compiles up an Indie playlist every month which i download, happy days!!. This is classic though.... I went to a bbq the other day here in Sydney and a little kid run out to the garden and said to his dad.. "dad dad (with a confused look) Uncle Mark is playing music through these big round black plastic things"
