It drives me insand that millenials think they don’t have to pay for music. To me, downloading a song illegally is no different than walking into a store and shoplifting. It costs money to produce a quality album.

Artists only receive .1099 for every song downloaded. So if you spend. $0.99 to download a song, The artist only receives about 11 cents. Now divide that by however many members are in the band.

Please pay for music.

I buy only albums.

Why kids settle for the sh!t sound of digital downloads is baffling to me.

It’s unlistenable.

And the Vienna Philharmonic doesn’t have a bunch of their stuff on Spotify.

Most of what music I buy, I don’t have much of a choice but to pay.

I buy mostly vintage TV show and movie soundtracks when they come around.
