I’m a huge fan of music.
I believe music is the most powerful way of getting messages out, conveying emotion and changing how you feel as a listener in an instant. It brings people together, tears others apart and changes perceptions. Wherever/whenever I am I’m always looking/listening/finding new music that strikes me in someway or reading about how music is evolving with this thing called the internet.
While chatting the other day about music I heard someone say that they didn’t like to have CDs anymore, and I know I’m behind on this because I still enjoy actually owning the physical CD in my hand but when having a song is two clicks away why bother anymore? iTunes sold their billionth download and no one feels bad when downloading a song or album or whole torrent anymore, the remorse left a long time ago.
I’m dying to see how music evolves with this internet thing that’s caught on with the kids.
I’ve been a member of Last.fm for 5 years now, and Rhapsody looks pretty awesome but only available in the states, for now I stick to iTunes and I still like to own an actual CD.
Maybe I’ll pull my Napster t-shirt out again though, I got mocked when I bought it but I think it might be time to pull it out for the 10 year anniversary of the birth of Napster and the biggest start of this digital download age.
