One of my top albums of recent years has only sold 1,400 copies (oink rant)

[paisley]

do a lot of try before you buy type Oink-ing (more just checking things out, new stuff to me)... have only only burned a few albums I already bought (most actually bought a few times over) and some bootlegs

downloaded a couple of Slip things but would much rather have the CD in my collection (once the cash and opportunity come along)

when I was a kid we'd tape each other's albums or grab stuff off the radio, really not much difference when you think about it... think easy download access motivates bands/labels to produce material that exceeds the "one hit wonder" category... blew a lot of money back in the day on albums I liked a song on the radio from only to find out the rest of the album was weak to terrible
