I am really thinking the vinyl bubble is about to burst. No way most collectors are going to continue paying $50 for each release. At least most of the artists I like are still in the $20-25 range thankfully.

I think the larger labels are hoping it will burst so they can get everyone back to streaming, which is less of a logistics hassle and more profitable for them. They will cash in as long as they can on vinyl at the upper threshold customers are willing to pay. Reality is we may never see it go back to $20-28 per LP.

Seems like the streaming and vinyl bubbles are set to explode at the same time. This makes way for *prison mike voice* da belle of da ball: Compact Discs that come with free downloads to be played on any device at any time.

Competition has destroyed the music industry, instead of enriching it. We will continue to run in circles trying things that have already been done.

Modern cars these days don't come with CD players anymore. That might limit any CD resurgence. Then again, the diehards will be ready with their discmans and an aux cable. Ha ha.

This is a really interesting interview: https://static.billboard.com/files/2020/02/insights_billboard-1582901163.pdf

I would argue that it's not competition that is destroying the music industry but instead, that it's becoming a lot more compact with investors owning catalogs instead of musicians and music streaming services sending a steady income to those investors. When streaming becomes just another income source for investors, that's when you destroy the music industry.
 
The Divorce - Gifted Program
Slender Means - Neon & Ruin

Originally intended as 15th Anniversary releases, the pandemic got in the way. Now, for two stalwarts of the early 00's Seattle scene, both albums available on vinyl for the first time ever.

Pre-order

(I make no $ on these projects, but do assist Latent Print with publicizing & selling merch at shows... I do vaguely remember shows)

I don’t necessarily think that the music industry being destroyed is a bad thing for most working artists…

Hmmm. I got a new car 2 years ago and honestly have no idea if it has an aux port. My guess is probably not.

There isn’t a visible one. Next to the cigarette lighter thing, that doesn’t have a lighter in it these days, is a USB and there’s a USB C in the arm rest. I can’t think where else there would be one.

PS it does make me chuckle that we’ve kept plugs in cars based on a technology that was originally for lighting smokes!
