@BigDVulturous but look at it this way. How many people might see your mention of Dream Theater and (as they arent hugely mainstream famous) might go "hey who's that" and seek them out, so good job interesting people in a great band with substance and soul.
Im 25 and I hate Itunes! Ive also been there one time and that was to download Liar (Henry, please dont kill me!) But beautifully said, as well as with Shrink-Wrapped Bands. I listen to Dream Theater all the time and to have a 45-min set with them would be 3 songs if they didn't play 6 degrees of inner turbulance, then it would be 1. I love that music, I love the stories in the music and it feels so bleak to think that music like that is being suffocated because its doesnt make the dollar :(
I get hardcopies but if the band is really small and just starting out and i don't want to wait a month or so for my local hmv to get it then i will buy it on itunes :P, but at least i bought it and supported them :)
I agree with that, because it shows how much one appreciates music in an independent way. Personally I download because I'm broke and I need to hear what is going on in music in the present, past, future. It is a need! I wish that it was not up to the corporate wallets for me to shell out 20 bucks for a CD, when I can have something to eat instead. But who is really winning right now.
I totally agree with Henry...I still like LPs, cassettes and CDs. I love going to a record store to buy an album. When you download music you don't have the cover art, etc. and have to burn your own CD. Where's the satisfaction in that? I'm glad I was born in the (late) 60s.
I can't remember the last time I got one song off of an album. I think it was some rare track off of some collection, which was surrounded by a bunch of bands I disliked.
I don't 'get' physical media, other than LPs because they're cool. Big poster things that contain permanent, physical representations of sound waves.
CDs are just containers that waste plastic, paper, and fuel to ship them.
I'm not saying this is curmudgeonly, just that people abuse the digital formats, creating mixtapes.

CD player. That's not hardcore, at least as hardcore as tape players!
