I like the music.

Posted: **05 Feb 2010, 07:18**

I love the music. I did not call Eldritch a psychopath. I do not necessarily agree with everything I think, either.

Have a nice day. Oh I'd buy 20,000 copies, even with the Yak, even if the Yak had hemmorhoids.

"We voted for Obama."

"That's a fine thing you've done. Had you not, we might have had to come over and bombed you again. he he. I think the last time that happened it was 1815. General Taylor was there. Not me of course though. he he."

"Yeah, good 'ol Zach saved the day."

"If you ever get around to banging out the new one I'll buy 20,000 copies." :Big Smile

"I just might have to take you up on that!": Smiles back

Please do, I can get a loan.

I see, and now you're no longer dividing between Edritch and Taylor ...
should we call that a progress now? Assuming that the various academic
scientists in your head are slowly being digested by your Prescott-self,
in my very personal opinion I'd say: slightly so, but there's at least hope.

Dude, no one buys CDs anymore. And as proof, you could easily get 1000 CDs made for $800. I don't know where you get the 10k thing... that was back in the 80s maybe.

well sorry, but i'm still buying CDs

Likewise.

I miss the ladies eps, lps, cds etc etc as there was rarely a dud track on them. Best I can hope for these days from the majority of bands is half the tracks to be decent, if you're lucky. With the honourable exception of the Biccies of course.

Posted: **05 Feb 2010, 15:25**

I buy CDs as well ... preferrably WITH a lyric sheet, btw ...

And I'd even buy a vinyl ...

...

Posted: **05 Feb 2010, 21:10**

Pretty much everyone still buys CDs. That's why CD shops are still in business. Most of those also still stock a surprising amount of vinyl.

Tell that to EMI

P.S. - The above quote Shivarising might make it seem like I said that about the cost of CD's. That was something EvilBastard said. Thanks.

I think it is clear that a person as such should
a) never be listened to
b) not do tours
c) better be silenced
d) doesn't deserve the least empathy
e) should never ever get a record deal

and all of this because he doesn't follow, because he's better at certain
things than you are and you cannot possess him and make him do what
you please, because he exposed certain strategies of those who believe
to own this planet, your life included, and you don't even notice ... if you
have such friends you don't have to care about your enemies any longer
and you can be sure, you'll never get anywhere, since they'll see to that.
Thanks.

Really makes me wonder how The Sisters survived at all, lately. How
could they ever do a thing like First And Last And Always, Floodland or
Vision Thing. These nasty creatures must have sucked it from the air,
that belongs to our holy community, I guess.

Yes, and now I do understand Arms ... and Far Parade ...

You never said this?

Please Prescott, don't overdo it now ... I apologise for any joke at your cost ...

Being645: I like our debates, but please do not imply that anyone called him a psychopath. If you read my research page on our TBOT site I put my thoughts into a better order but it's basically the same thing I was trying to express in the earlier post in this thread.

It's all good! and I think you might have quoted the wrong quote of the wrong quote. This is silly.

Good ...

Come on... yes, WE still buy CDs, but WE are far from everyone. I hate it when you people make me look sh*t up!

About 1,000 indie music retailers have gone out of business since 2003, said Joel Oberstein, president of Almighty Institute of Music Retail, a market research firm based in Studio City, Calif. Former powerhouses Tower Records is just a memory, Virgin Megastore has closed its largest stores, and Borders is reducing the CD's footprint at its stores.
------------

Total U.S. music transactions grew 2.1% to 1.55 billion units from 1.51 billion units while digital growth slowed and CD sales continued to plummet for the year ended Jan. 3, according to Nielsen SoundScan, with album sales declining by 12.7%.

Posted: **06 Feb 2010, 22:12**

There's a global recession. Sales of everything have plummeted and all sorts of businesses have gone under - Borders being one of them. CD sales may be falling but it's nonsense to say that no-one buys CDs any more. In fact, the full Nielsen Soundscan figures show that the fall in CD sales is slowing - 5% this January compared to 12-15% in the previous three years. (January sales have proved a reliable indication of sales for the coming year.) Sales might continue to fall. CDs may eventually become obsolete. But, according to the IFPI, they still made an estimated $13.8 billion last year, which means that people are definitely still buying them.

Is this a rhetoric question? I can't tell.. I guess it'd be a bit like 'look, that other dude's got huge success, and why not you?'

Edit: commercial success, that is.
