A) There may be a kabillion threads like this one here, but this one shall be mine and any and all are welcome to join in the wonderful speedy chaos.
Secondly, just let me say this. I download music probably much more than I should. I'm guilty. I do delete the sh!t I end up not liking, and hereby consider these situations as failed test drives. This is morally acceptable. The stuff I DO end up liking I more often than not go out, after being sure by sampling several other cuts, and I buy that record. Then there is the random stuff that comes from records I'll never own; like Two Pina Coladas by Garth. I'm not going to own a ********ing Garth Brooks album! But I do likey that song. This is morally shaky ground.
Furthermore, I think that ********ing idiots who almost only download their music are ********ing idiots. I hear all the whining like "pooooh pooooh, there is only crap on the radio, I download all of my music." Or, "pooooh pooooh, records these days only have like ONE good song so I download all of my music
You are all lazy. It is upon your own shoulders to seek out and find the artists, any genre, who are in fact not putting out crap. They are out there. Their records are available; online, at the shows they give in your home town, and many record shops not called Best Buy, FIY, and Wal-Mart (and often you can find this stuff even at these places!). :O
And 4) in this thread I will be updating everyone with what records I just paid my good money for. This is in support of the artists I personally believe not to suck. Some of them are going to be super popular and records that everyone else in the world either already owns, has owned, or has at least heard the music contained within. Some of them will be bands you have never heard of, have only heard a little about (maybe even here on BS where there can be found posters with every taste possible and with access to artists all over the world that others might not have access to!), and quite possibly never want to hear about them again.
In conclusion, I don't think I'll bother ranting with each posting on the pluses and minuses of the records I'll list. I'll just list them, maybe drop a word about the genre and let you take it from there. Sample the stuff, try it out for yourself by downloading from the most neatest, bestest P2P software you can think of.
But by ********ing god get off your A$$ and support the artists playing the music you do enjoy and find to be not of the same sh!t quality that is crammed down your throat daily by the same people responsible for Ashlee Simpson.
P.S. this rant is not directed at any one individual and for all I know any who read this may agree with me and do in fact support their favorite artists. That is great! Keep it to yourself.
Yesterday I bought:
Nirvana - Nevermind (a replacement disk as I only own the cassette I bought in 1992)
The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives Swedes who I have come to appreciate greatly for their rocking ways.
Sahara Hotnights - C'mon Let's Pretend The debute album from a rockin' girl band also from Sweden. The Donna's are indeed a poor man's Sahara Hotnights (although the records cost the same?)
Sahara Hotnights - Jennie Bomb the best album of the three, IMO
Sahara Hotnights - Kiss and Tell
Updates forthcoming, please contribute.
