Some of these are bad...

Some aren't so horrible, just confusing. Like, I want to know what kind of track listing the album, "Songs For Gay Dogs" might possibly contain??

Blimey Linda... Those covers have made me feel physically sick!...

Especially, the fat guy and the pig....nauseating.

Hysterical.

Now that people download music, is album art a thing of the past? Or will the downloads eventually come with art that can be viewed on video I-pods?

I remember as a kid I stared for hours at the "With The Beatles" cover - it meant as much as the music. All the Beatle album covers were iconic.

But I guess times change.

I've mentioned this a few times too. I don't do downloads. I want to have something in my hands, ideally with liner notes, etc.

And while I'm on the topic, I still always preferred LP's to cassetttes or CD covers, because the size of the artwork made a bigger impression (literally).

Amen to that, Linda... and also when you bought an album for a present it looked like SOMETHING..

Whereas a cd always looks slightly paltry in my view...

Real fans want EVERYTHING including any pics and sleeve notes.

However, it depends on the cash situation, I guess...and a person's abilty to get to shops.

I know I shouldn't be admitting this, but I pirate a lot. On the other hand, I look for really eclectic stuff - the Red Army Choir, Nino Rota, Spike Jones, Derek & Clive and yes, I got most of Dusty's stuff for free.

A lot of stuff simply isn't available in America. I tunes? I'll be buggered if I'm going to pay 99 cents a cut - it's a rip off.

The reason I don't do downloads is because I'm just as obsessed with the liner notes as the music itself.

I am totally guilty of pirating my obsessions... the illegal stuff... but if I'm looking for something that's already been released, I'm going to buy it. Eventually. I admit that I acquire bootlegs that are available, but I always end up with the legit copy in the end. It's a love thing. It's a trust thing. *break out into song*

I've been a Spike Jones fan for 35 years - I consider him the finest musician America ever produced.

That's why I still pirate - I downloaded stuff I never knew existed. "Duet for Violin and Garbage Disposal" - who knew?
