Am I reading TOMQ84 and 97mde wrong or are you just horrible little nationalists? What someone wears does not make any difference to their nationality but where they are born generally does, hence nation being part of nationality. Or do you have to wear trilbys and brogues to be British now? So much for multiculturalism within the active NME bloggers. Don't go listening to any of that 'foreign' music kids, you might break out in hoodies......

But the studio albums. Buy Hatful as those are better versions than the John Porter recordings on The Smiths. Buy World Won't Listen for the B Sides and non album singles. Download Jeane. Then buy Rank so you can get an idea of what they were like live and then stop. Simple

There's a lot of disinformation flying around these comments. Record companies see no revenue from touring and merchandise unless they have a new 360 degree deal with an artist and there are very few of them so those suggesting they make millions from this area are wrong. This idea that record companies have been ripping us off for years? Not sure how you get to that to be honest, an album ar full price costs £12.99 and lasts for as long as you want it. 30 years of entertainment for £13? That's a round of drinks so in terms of value I would suggest we need to be a little less dramatic in our terminology. Granted, the cost of the cd isn't huge in itself but recording and three tax hits don't help the economics and remember your favourite band want some of that £12.99 as well. We can debate what a fair price is for an album but clearly it can't be £0 as no artist can record for absolutely nothing and, ultimately, your favourite artists will cease to record if they can't maintain some income from being an artist. Before everyone screams about them making huge profits from touring, get under the 2000 capacity mark and you'll be lucky to make any significant money from touring, more likely you'll be cap in hand to the label for tour support. And where does that come from? Yep, record sales...And finally, whoever is complaining that record labels don't stop ticket touts, that would be a job for the promoters who have demanded anti touting measures from the government several times and got nowhere. Pick your targets correctly people.

Music industry deemed 'more untrustworthy'

New research suggests public don't trust music industry figures

Mon 21 Apr, 2008

Firstly bear in mind who is surveyed. Then ask yourself, what does 'trust' mean. That the album they say is 'the best yet' is really that or you would leave your firstborn with them. Who cares whether people trust the music industry, I work in it but we're not the story, the bands and artists are. If you trust them and think they are worth your attention, buy their music, if you don't, don't. As for the record companies attitude to DRM and downloading, couldn't agree more. Their actions have to a great extent precipatated the crisis they face but trust has absolutely nothing to do with this. Did anyone trust Colonel Tom Parker? Didn't hurt Elvis did it?
