Does anyone care about music anymore?

No hair shows you care.
if by craic you're using the gaelic spelling of what is phonetically pronounced as 'crack' it must be a pretty laizzes-faire record shop you frequent if you can go there to have crack with people.
but anyway, sorry i needed '3 chase up emails!' for the records I bought - as i said in the first one I had to wait for a new cheque book as you couldn't accept paypal. Which is kind of analogous for this thread, I buy records every week and have done for the last 30 years, but don't think i have ever been into a record shop for months! It is simply much cheaper to buy on line! Similarily, I haven't had to write anyone a check for ages as everyone who sells stuff online takes paypal.
I expect it's sort of the same with buying vinyl from traders/shops these days. And i'm someone who loves nothing better than spending a day in some 2nd hand vinyl treasure trove wherever i am in the world, even if i only leave with a couple of records for my efforts.
Yes, I made a similar complaint over CB radio once but the only fuckers who responded were those weirdos who spend their time chatting on CB radio.
you're taking the piss now. yo're the one taking money of bands by selling their records second hand.

my flatmate does that, but then that means he's saving money on the cost of a call so he's the winner there.

Chico you have outed yourself now as the one person who actually bought something! You will be barred from the forum! You will be forced to have a lobotomy with smug genes implanted in you
When I used to buy records I always had good craic with the people in the shop, if you get to know them they can save the best records for you and tell you about new stuff that you will like
I don't buy records anymore because I don't really live anywhere so I can't be shifting hundreds of records around all the time. I don't buy CDs because they break really easily

Well if you don't want to sell second hand records give them to me.

So because I disagreed with your argument i'm smug? yeah I do use the internet to order pizza too
why? because I don't have a landline as I use my neighbours wireless (with permission) it's called convenience pal and most stuff online is cheaper too, that's called market forces. Times change, get over it.lol. go fuck yourself, dickcheese. have you read any of the responses?
er what?
Ah CB. The 80's forerunner to forums, only you could get a shag on the CB and it was full of pisstaking twats rather than smug twats!

To be honest mate, the prices you are selling your stuff for are well cheap. Sure if you were just to spend a couple of days banging it all up on ebay you'd make ten times more than you ever would just selling them off a list

yep... or list them on gemm or discogs or something. then you'll reach people who actually care about music, not scum like us
i don't sell records i listen to them.
No, we couldn't. I can't be bothered, you're a blinkered, "me, me, me" tit, to be fair.

You're an idiot if you don't understand why millions of people like Girls Aloud and only a few thousand like The Exploited

Watch it ! you will alienate yourself from the others on here, being nice is not forum ettiquette!
As for ebay, if i had the patience maybe, but it's similar to this forum...timewaster central, and i think they're putting their charges up again?
I'm still laughing at the post saying i'm ripping off bands by selling second hand records, as if i broke into the bands house and STOLE them in the first place!

If downloading had been around in the days of punk nobody would have bought any records then either- the predictions of music dying back then turned out to be a little premature.
Sorry haven't read read the whole thread. But this is a moot point.
I think the concerns over downloads have nothing to do with musics survival but the industries.
The music business is basically stating that music will die if it does. When it (as an industry) has been here less then a hundred years whilst music is an integral part of human civilization,( arguably the first Art we achieved).
This arrogance from a bullshit industry makes my blood boil.
You telling me you can't get a shag off the internet?
The internet aye, but probably not on this forum, unless you started a thread saying "why sex is bad" ...because they're such contrary bastards on here they would shag you just to take the opposite stance!
you are not doing anything to help struggling bands. all yr doing is trying to make money for yourself, there is nothing wrong with that but don't pretend that by not buying records off you i'm somehow contributing to bands giving up music. i tell you what i am just about to take an afternoon off work to go pay for a taxi to move a band's equipment then the next few hours setting up playing for free just so that people can enjoy it then packing everything up and paying for another taxi to move the stuff back while everyone is having a good time so don't tell me i don't care about music. you're just making money off the back of other people's hard work.

i just didn't fancy owt off your list. as urban isn't a marketplace, you should be damn grateful anybody bought anything imo.
ditto. If you'd had anything I wanted I would have bought it. You didn't so I didn't.
e2a: I have spent about 30 quid in the last fortnight on buying singles. Just so you know.
