[kj] OT: Music industry - decline in CD sales

[iPat]

sales of vinyl are on the up in the local independent
does that equate with MD Rob?

strange that people are downloading and filling gadgets with low
quality dross but stepping back at home to better quality i selective
products.

I downloaded Madness new release - due out in March - at xmas time,
paying for it to also arrive by cd, vinyl membership box in a months
time.

Listening to the Guardians music monthly editor on Mayo - radio 5 on
tuesday i think, he said bands like Keane and what is known as
landfill indie is dying a death and pointed to the internet generation
not having loyalty built in. Meanwhile the pre internet bands have
huge loyalty followings and Springsteens album sales will probably
indicate that.
