Hi! About the livestream you're mentioning, actually we the fans were on edge while waiting and waiting for the stream to begin. I relatively quickly understood that the company in charge to carry out the stream was new in the business, they were saying so in their website (mentioning the new situation with miss Covid like you're saying 🙃) and the need to have a platform where performances can be carried out online and one can have some understanding, although I think that was not exactly their first effort. The band or both bands did more livestreams that went fine in another platform though, but then for me buying tickets for livestreams is not really something I like that much.
Buying physical media even now is good though because labels have to survive as well and they're making discount offers in every chance they have.
You can get to good deals; Something cool miss Corona brought us then :)
This morning I was readin in my FB feed, from some of my electronic profucer friends, many of the labels nowadays earn more money through spotify then to selling physical media.
If they say so, but the physical media staying in their warehouses is a loss for them in my mind, I believe that people who're going to buy physical are going to buy physical anyways. Same with people who're going to buy digital, they're going to buy digital anyways.
Agree. A small amount of people buy physical media. Some of my DJ friends do buy, or get the promos from other artists still on vinyl. Sometimes they even play vinyl :) One friend did a few vinyl only streaming sessions last 6 months, was very nice :)
I like buying physical because I see it as an archive of the music I like. I have a digital music collection but it feels to me that I don't know what I have in my digital library. I do remember every physical releaee I own, but then my collection is not really that great. However the feeling is different and also the sound differs, not really always but in cases the difference is noticeable.
I hear you! :) I never bought any vinyl, but still have a lot of casettes and CDs. But digital is quite easy to take along anywhere. Though I never thought I would go digital, I think time is putting my physical music media in my personal museum :)
the personal museum you're saying, is spot on! that's right! Doesn't mean though that pieces from my museum will never be given away, it just will mean that they're going to be replaced with other pieces. 🙂
Museums needs active curration and wouldn't be bad to refresh once so often the collection 😉
