We won't be bartering for food or gas in the post-apocalypse. It'll be CD's.

And if you are really poor you will be bartering for Macca cassettes. 2006-2010 I was regularly going to east village record stores, often looking for out of print McCartney CDs. Most of the people in the shops were unhelpful, some even rude, but there was one man who was just the sweetest. The store was very small, and the CDs were piled so precariously that I think even touching one would have caused some sort of violent domino effect. I mean, the racks/shelves were not even visible. He always remembered me, and would let me know that he hadn't gotten any "McCarthy" although one time he did get a London Town cassette. (didn't buy it, but it was still a nice change of pace compared to guys who didn't give a shit if they even had customers or not.)
He was also the only person willing to buy my uncle's 8 tracks. We weren't expecting more than a few bucks, if that, but no other store was willing to even take them for free. Between that and all the other crap we sold that day (this was after my uncle had retired from sanitation, and had emptied his locker which was basically a twenty year time capsule of mostly literal trash) there was enough money to cover lunch.

They discontinued Target CDs and I did not speak out.
The bank took away my copper-wired $25k cables and my Shakti stones and I did not speak out.
Audio Fidelity declared bankruptcy and I did not speak out.
Millennials stopped making physical media and I did not speak out.
Because I'm retired.

Whinging ungrateful arseholes found here: forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/van-morrison-veedon-fleece-emerald-green-vinyl-february-2019.804512/Short version - an album they know well is getting a decent enough reissue from Vinyl Me Please. For me, this looks like a labour of love for an album that's a) really good, and b) difficult to find on vinyl. I'd be really stoked to get this if it was high enough on my wantlist. But there's always something wrong which causes these pricks to declare it a disaster, or totally assume VMP is a con because they're too fucking lazy to click on the website to read more. rjstauber: teag: Oh no, it's cut from hi-rez digital. Cue the strings: jeffmo789 is annoyed that they aren't putting albums out in the right order: Satrus is sick of colour, for some reason. I know I shouldn't get wound up by shit like this, but Jesus Christ, why don't these fuckers just fuck off? |

Is it any wonder the AF PO Box folded with attitudes like that. |

Gee, it’s almost as if a visit to the website would reveal that you could quit the subscription at any time, but I guess that’d be asking to much of the overprivledged.

But Grand Funk actually make me angry - they're properly dreadful and I can't believe they were ever successful. It all sounds like a parody of bad rock music. |

Speaking of Macca and physical stuff, enjoying that thread today about the Macca lunchbox they are all scrambling to get for 400 clams.

It’s impossible not to “like” the Monkees, but their reverence for them over there borders on the insane. |
