I do agree with Robert here. I may come across like a very old man (and I AM too old to be posting on an NME blog), but there was something magical about stumbling upon a long-sought song in, say, a small shop in Antwerp. It's not the same to go on elbo and find any song weeks before its release with the press of a button. When a song is something you can hold in your hand like a single or a CD and not just abstract data at least I seem to attach more emotions to it. You remember where you got the thing, you connect memories to it. You have in your hand a reflection of the effort that went into making it. Thing is, though, times have changed. Irrevocably. Also i do doubt that a song that mackes your spine tingle does so less when you only have it as an mp3. The Music again have made my spine tingle on numerous occasions and I hope they will get the chance to do so furthermore. It's so frustrating to see great bands who would easily have had a carreer a few years ago struggle to even keep on going. So support your favourite artists. Give something back.
