Wed, 31 Oct 2012i'm sure i wouldn't be singing a different tune. for example, the 'stream xyz's album' announcements on ra are completely uninteresting to me.

you're saying that we shouldn't criticize a decision of an influential music person because it's none of our business? i think music distribution models affect a lot of people.

it's interesting to follow, it's something i don't agree with... and i'm curious. it's really a strange decision to make. i think it's lazy and cheap in a sense. but i still... More

Tue, 30 Oct 2012i understand what you're saying. the net does exist, pirating exists; we probably wouldn't love electronic music so much if it weren't for the easy access afforded by them. but by legitimizing the free mp3/youtube rip culture, less people are going consider the alternative. collecting music will no longer be a beautiful and fulfilling pursuit in a crate. it'll be a forgotten artist discography .zip downloaded from a soundcloud account.
