NigelH: How Do You Acquire Music?

sightofyourdemons 10.05.10	1 & 4 are pretty awesome. 2,3 &5 are on my 'to get' list.
ShadowRemains 10.05.10	dl and some buy if they're worth having hard copies
deathofasalesman 10.05.10	I do a mixture of buying and downloading. I buy the albums I truly like and download the ones I just wanna check out.
Vertipire 10.05.10	dunlode
Bitchfork 10.05.10	5 is soooo bad.
Deviant. 10.05.10	Its better than Unfathoms
couldwinarabbit 10.05.10	mediafire gives albums thus I get albums.
Satellite 10.05.10	kraytraker btjunkie mediafire http://quoteunquoterecords.com/
PanasonicYouth 10.05.10	"mediafire http://quoteunquoterecords.com/" +torrents but mainly just mediafire
Psilocyanide 10.05.10	what.cd demonoid.com
ButcheredChildren 10.05.10	I usually do the same as your buddy except I only care about bands that have minimum 3 albums
PanasonicYouth 10.05.10	dammit thats what i get for trying to edit
ButcheredChildren 10.05.10	eww Lakes leave, youre legal
Satellite 10.05.10	why lakes?
DiceMan 10.05.10	mediafire
bloc 10.05.10	Downloading, but if I really like the album I'll buy it.
MindTrain 10.05.10	I download albums (Soulseek) that involve and/or are highly praised by musicians I like. If I like it, I download the next high praised album. If a bunch of fans praise something I've never heard of, I'll check it out too, one album at a time. I skip blog/torrents because they're usually in a horrifically bad quality like 128/192 kbps rather than 320
klap 10.05.10	waffles.fm, FLAC on the reg
pizzamachine 10.05.10	I have a CD tree in my backyard.
Satellite 10.05.10	how is downloading music immoral, lakes? i mean, i understand that it's technically stealing, but spending $15 for a plastic disc full of mp3s is fucking stupid.
ButcheredChildren 10.05.10	Lakes, I download illegally but every couple of weeks i'll go out and buy a record, I support artists in my own way
couldwinarabbit 10.05.10	not to be me but Thom Yorke said I can download music.
ShadowRemains 10.05.10	sigh
Jesuslaves 10.05.10	yeah, i'd hate for capitol to go under
whywontyoudie 10.05.10	look up bands i haven't yet heard on youtube or myspace. if i like them enough, i download the album that people praise the most then move on to the rest of their discography. once i enjoy them enough, i'll buy an album, shirt, go to a show, or whatever for the band.
ButcheredChildren 10.05.10	lulz
Foxhound 10.05.10	i mostly buy cds. 5 or so in the last 2 weeks.
Satellite 10.05.10	i have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of illegally downloaded music on my hd. the vast majority of the bands i listen to i probably never would have heard (and subsequently supported monetarily) were it not for checking them out for free first... i go to a shitload of shows and buy merch and have a respactable vinyl collection. idk, to each his own.
TheSpirit 10.05.10	illegally
East Hastings 10.05.10	You're such a fucking saint.
Foxhound 10.05.10	and awesome album covers and booklets! and when your ipod gets stolen it's like wow, full fucking albums in my hand bra
Bitchfork 10.05.10	I download illegally and buy albums I like because I recognize that the music industry's collective theory is that success is nowadays measured in terms of dollar amount, so why not only buy what I like? I realize more people do this than just me so it makes somewhat of a difference, however small.
East Hastings 10.05.10	CSB.
igloodude 10.05.10	I buy most of my music 'cause I'm an idiot, and stealing music gives me a weird feeling in my stomach.
Bitchfork 10.05.10	Well if the artist is actually in it because they're passionate about their art, some people downloading their albums illegally is one of their lesser concerns.
MindTrain 10.05.10	I don't accept that blowjob from that horny stranger woman. I tell her she needs self-control and send her to church to do the right thing. +25 paragon -1 blowjob
Bitchfork 10.05.10	Insightful comment there, MindTrain.
Jesuslaves 10.05.10	i know i am
Blackbelt54 10.05.10	i do the same thing u do... usually get the highest acclaimed album first
Dev518 10.05.10	I buy what i can reasonably afford. I'm sure you know where the rest comes from. My CD collection is about 115 right now.
SeaAnemone 10.05.10	Lakes: I mean this in the least-offensive way as possible dude, but that (how you only buy music, you say?) is why your taste seems fairly limited to CD's I could find in Barnes & Nobles
Satellite 10.05.10	i think he's a youngin, too. the world has yet to distort his virtues.
crazyblinddude 10.05.10	I test out one album, then if I like it I check out a few others from their discog.
HallucinogeNick 10.05.10	I download more music than I can listen to, but if I truly love it, i'll buy it on vinyl and go to their show. That alone would support the band 4, 5, or even 6X the amount I would be paying if I bought shit on amazon or ICrap.
Cavs 10.05.10	Download, and if I like it, i buy it. Not that hard of a concept.
tvol 10.05.10	i download everything because i'm jaded and convinced that 11/13ths of every album is going to be shit anyways. and every once in a while, i find an album that is fantastic. and i don't bother buying that album because i already have it and buying it is retarded. i should mention the last cd i bought was st. anger back in high school.
Aids 10.05.10	"Its better than Unfathoms" Win. I download from mediafire, and torrent occasionally. I have an unhealthy obsession with buying CDs and Vinyl so I try to avoid music stores but when I do drop cash on music I try to hook-up some of the lesser known, less likely to be megarich bands.
