he mistakenly believes he can fly
also, I am having a dilemma with this newfangled 'digital downloads' shenanigans - do I download the mp3s (cheaper) and GET IT NOW or do I order the CD (not cheaper) and GET A REAL TANGIBLE THING with packaging and artwork an that subject to Royal Mail's thieving policy?

edit: right, CD it is then

The latter

because you can always go to mp3 from there, not the other way around

Yeah, someone should really get round to making some sort of Seedy burning apparatus

Don't bother with the wasteful environment-damaging packaging.
Let's face it, the music will be obsolete in a year's time and you'll have moved on to another fad.

Download the mp3s for free and treat them as the cheap, tawdry tat they are.

mp3s are indeed cheap tawdry tat

Yeah they are.
They are to vinyl what Green Day are to punk.

no
as early Green Day were quite good, if the actually made music they wanted to rather than what they think people want to hear then they'd now be sounding a bit like U2,ashually that's even worse

Vinyl FTW, but CDs have their place.

or are you willing to wait for a few days?

buy it
royal mail don't nick cds as they've no-resale value, you get higher quality music and most online retailers are still using couriers since the last round of strikes for no extra charge

^this
if it's good enough that I want to have it for good I'll buy it direct from the band if I can, otherwise get the CD.

If I don't want to keep it, I'll delete it and keep my money.

And if I go to a live gig I'll buy the band a drink if they're good.
