you might want to keep that in mind the next time you so casually
question
why someone ELSE would buy vinyl, and then suggest they download mp3's
instead....
you apparently only choose to support (buy) music that is released in
formats
you prefer, but this is obviously not necessarily the case for the rest
of "us".
some of "us" believe in buying the vinyl music we download in addition
to the cds
we buy to support the artist for those works as well; even though we
have to
endure all the "hassles" (all your excuses for not buying vinyl) that
come with
dealing with this analog format. you obviously feel your above this,
which is ok
providing you keep it to yourself. when you suggest to a stranger (to
you) download
something over buying it simply because it's vinyl, because you hate
vinyl (or it's passe or whatever),
in a public forum such as this, your basically pissing on the support
that
other music lovers give to vinyl by spending money on those vinyls.
(hence the "backlash" you received here) Some of us DO care if the
artist
makes money off those vinyls they worked so hard on, regardless of
whether or not we like the vinyl format. you do not, but don't make
comments
that presume "we" share your opinion, because many of us don't!
