[kj] Cut out the middleman

[Leigh Newton]

I think the solution to cutting out the middleman is
putting out your own albums. I'd hate it if bands only
released albums on the internet, even though it's
obviously going to end up that way eventually.
Probably sooner than later too. It's just such a
cheesy idea not being able to actually have a physical
copy of an album anymore, unless you burn it to some
ugly looking CDR. The album cover and inner-cover
art/CD art is such an important factor in music. It's
almost like the first note of music you hear before
you play the actual album. I'm gonna hate it so much
when CDs are finally phased out for good. I'm already
a bitter old man at 29, God.
