I'm finally understanding why i didn't sell anything. That and the geezer with the No Use For a Name link
you should have some respect for the bands is all.
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.
i have to disagree with that, tho it depends which era punk you are talking about.
the eraly 80s punk scene was quite serious, especially with al lthe anarchopunk bands. perosnally, i wouldnt buy a record back then unless i got lyrics and all sorts of information with it, and i think many people were like that, it was more than just ,music
trev, i do wnat some of that stuff, im just crap at getting my act together!

Woahh i'm getting excited now - could this be number 2?!!!
Yeah i agree totally with ya, i don't think most of the others on here can grasp that though. Even bands i didn't really like that much (apart from first few singles) like The Apostles, had some great sleeves
I run a fanzine that makes a loss - is that respect?
Oh no now he's saying i'm a middle class musician with nothing to say! What a rotter!
yes it is. put us in it then
I usually approach the bands i like, but who you? I like people who give good answers (Oi Polloi, Attila the Stockbroker for example) or i take the chance on bands who's music i like (mainly 77 style, Oi)

They care about music. They just don't care about punk.
Its not the 80s anymore. Get with the times.
People like digital media now so that they can carry their entire collection around with them. So yeah downloands are popular. You don't have to be signed to Sony to get your track on iTunes. Independant bands make it onto there too.
I think you are out of step with the modern music industry if you think people aren't interested in music anymore. Look at any poll of top ten of things people say they can't go without and you'll see iPod high on list.
By take a chance i meant that often the bands with the best music give the crappest answers. I will listen to those links

that and the crack?
Ta for the compliment!! Doesn't get me any more kudos than those looking for arguments on forums though ha ha
Couldn't get on the first band site (i have old computer which freezes a lot on My Space) but i liked the faster songs of The Spivs. Reminds me of something you'd find on Damaged Goods or whats that small London label again, i have a memory like a seive...can't even remember the name of the band they remind me of ah thats it Henry fiats Open Sore or something?

If you want to know who and what killed the small independant record store I have one word for you.
Ebay.
If you read record collectors guide you'll see a huge rant about how Ebay has killed the record collectables industry with people who formally had shops themselves even switching to online trading.

yea, definately more money to be made selling crack than vinyl these days. You only have to look at Camden High street for the proof of that!
