This all goes back to the tactile aspect of record buying...looking at the
labels and picture sleeves, digging through the bins to find something
new. This is a major part of music isn't it? I still marvel at label art
and can spot something at a glance. Kids these days don't get this unless
they have grown up with parents who have collections, and maybe drag them
to collectors shops or record fairs.

I don't even like to buy music on line unless I absolutely have to. So
much of the fun goes out of it. Downloading or getting burned copies of
cds just doesn't feel right to me.

We were talking about the downloading issue last night, and the only real
analogy I can make is shoplifting. Sorry kids...
