Cheer up, boys. “put the blame on the depressed state of the music industry”

Of course, I can't download music as I don't have XP and most sites demand it now, but what the hell ;) Clever bands will be offering download only albums and letting the people that buy them print off artwork and lyrics, it’s the punk ethic finally come to fruition.

Because *I don't have any frickin' money*. So I will buy cds, but only second-hand or from "amazon shops". £11.99 for a cd? Previously, I just wouldn't buy it. Now I get it cheap, and still often buy the ones I really like at full price. CD prices are insane (and the tax on books is also insane). Make them half price and sales will soar.
