Fruit Machine Chat

I went out yesterday got orson's and i got snow patrols. Both very good!

I bought the Kooks and Lily Allen about 3 weeks ago. Both are top class.

I download nearly all the music i want (over 250 gigs)

But every so often i still buy cd's mostly because im too lazy to download it and burn it, plus originals look better.

Last one i bought was 2-3 weks ago and it was Feeder - The Singles one. Very good album but you expect it to be if you buy a greatest hits type cd. Before that i bought Muse which i think is alright but not amazing and Nina Simone which is quite good to chill out too.

Not sure about that Lily, i hated it at first but it gets sort of addictive and i like it now she just seems a bit chavvy dont you think?

yeh she is a bit, but do u think she can help it being the daughter of Fat Les (Vindaloo), but i still reckon she is pretty fit.

Shamefully, since I got broadband, I haven't bought any music, preferring to "share" it.

However, I justify it to myself cos I do like seeing live bands / gigs / dance acts, so I pay them through that. Obviously, I don't go and see everyone, but that's their fault for not touring enough. And the rest of the stuff I would never have bought in the first place, so they still haven't lost out.

Last album was I bought was the latest Prodigy album. It was pretty crap, so I took it back to the shop!

Shocking stuff, after reading all the money winning stories on here i am dismayed that people are stealing from artists who have fully earned their royalties

You've not heard any money winning stories from me.

But like I say, if I download something that I wasn't going to buy anyway, how does it affect their royalties?

Yeah most of the stuff i have downloaded i wouldn't have bought anyway. I do tend to still buy albums i really really want.

Hehe, glad i got a reaction. I have got about 1500 mp3 albums on my pc.

About 2% of them were ripped from a cd.

Well its braging time, 250gigs of music

I must admit id rather go out and buy an album than dowloading it and burning ! I like to have the genuine thing if you get me ......... ! Anyway on another note i got lucky with an Aus chick last night very off the topic but hey

Last album i bought was Pet Shop Boys - Fundamental. Very good!

I also download a fair bit too. Latest downloaded stuff is Razorlight and Kasabian's new stuff. Very impressed with that too!

Matt

Razorlight there are awfull! Wouldnt mind taking a gun to the lead singers head

Parasites - you should all be ashamed of yourselves . It's perfectly possible to buy good stuff cheap.
