Albums are dead.

Everything Modern Dad has posted is true. What you choose to believe is completely up to you.

 

Addendum - is true in the mind of Modern Dad.
We have discounted the "there are no good albums" myth. You are beaten by weight of numbers

 

That would be even scarier than my version of reality.

 

well I know im not

ill bet my stained Pablo Cruise shirt he 100 percent is that

 

I sense midnight mattress moisture also

 

whatcha gonna do

 

Niente

 

the point isn't that there aren't great albums still being made..... . its that much fewer people care and even fewer seem to want to consume them as albums.....

 

Attention span issues.
The majority are battling to focus on a whole song, never mind an album.

 

I agree that is a big part of it... People are now on their phones all the time...

 

Pity the sound of streamed music is awful and relies on an internet connection which can change speeds, especially on the go. I'll stick to CDs and ripped CDs.

That's right friends, Poe said it 121 years before Marvin Gaye said it. In other words trust no one.

 

in the future our computer overlords will have us answering to those things 'I said...clean your cubicle'

 

Who chanted Modern Dad to come back and say... a whole bunch of nothing?

 

Edgar and Marvin were wiser than Modern Dad.

 

Or he'll send his goons who do stock on Wall Street.

 

Not unless you consider around $20 an LP high prices. Do you? I don't. And given that I won't be selling them, bit of a moot point.

 

Sarcasm didn’t come through I guess... don’t plan on selling mine either. But very rarely have I spent $2o on an lp. Pretty much all, even used have been more than that. $30-$50
Range on average. Compared to a $8 download, that is quite a bit difference per album. But free or cheap streaming is what most are doing anyways, so the price differential is even greater

 

I've noticed with my own posts that sarcasm is somewhat harder to convey on web forums. Try being facetious instead. Comes across much easier.

 

That's just paranoid. Let it have free reign in the house, move around a bit, and you two will get along just fine.

 

We must listen to different styles of music, I guess. I bought four new releases yesterday afternoon: Sharon Van Etten, Deerhunter, Steve Gunn and Malibu Ken. $81 including tax.

 

he schooled us and logged off at 10 pm to spend some quality time with his 2 1/2 children, some naughty time with the wife, and his required 8 hours before killing it at the office tomorrow

 

He may have schooled us but he hasn't fooled us.

 

You (and whomever you're representing) are probably correct.
