I live in London, and could easily get a broadband connection at home, but
haven't bothered. While it would be nice, it's not that interesting. Spend
my working life in front of a PC, so try avoid it at home.
Barely ever shop online for music either, and to be perfectly honest, find
the idea of purely digital distribution for music fairly mortifying (hey, I
still buy vinyl too, so I guess I'm just old fashioned)
One of my great joys in life is browsing in record shops. I've even got to
know some of the guys in some of the shops I go to, and they can recommend
stuff, and hell, they'll all let me spin the discs to see if I like what I'm
going to buy. Call it human contact, call it organic - Whatever.
Oh well. This is one of those "god exists / god doesn't exist" arguments
anyway.
Is the Soft Pink Truth album as good as Promo Funk?
Oh, and the new Mira Calix is pretty damn sweet. Anyone who knows any parts
of South Africa might recognise a few track titles.
