Man, you are so riled up about that landslide loss your daddy took all this time later. Where are your bootstraps?
That's just sad for so many reasons. At what point do the people being bilked run out of money? It's like people going broke sending all their money to TV Evangelists. It's the political version of the Gemstones.
do people still "buy" music? At least in the traditional sense of "I like this song/album. Im going to spend $1.99/14.99 to buy it"
I havent bought a song or album in .....since ..... 2006??? Anything "new" I hear, typically sneaks it way onto "Music for me" stations on Amazon Music.
Yeah, so 45% of democrats definitely DO NOT believe the election was rigged.
You know that a good point. It made me wonder if I am actually spending more money to access streaming with Amazon music than I actually spent in the last buying albums. I'm too lazy(and don't honestly want to know) to do the math!
I do Spotify premium for 10.99/mo.
It's more than I used to spend on cds in an average year, but I get to curate playlists exactly the way I want. And no commercials, scratches, lost or stolen cd cases. I listen to music pretty much all the time, so it's definitely worth it for me.
Oh ... Im sure we both are ... and I bet its a significant amount more, but that is the fee for convenience. I can choose to listen to most any song ever made and have it playing within seconds.
Sure beats the hell out of spending 10 minutes thumbing through hundreds of pages in your CD book looking for a certain CD, because you want to listen to one song and saying to yourself for the 100th consecutive weekend "You know what I'll do this weekend, Im going to alphabetize my CDs"
I have Amazon Music and Sirius XM radio. Found a great streaming station on Sirius XM (well, great for my tastes) called Rock Bar. Its a mix of 70's, 80's, 90's and early 2000's rock. Love listening to Queen and then it roll right into "Rollin" by Limp Bizkit
Its really great ... and to top it all off ... during those momentary/occasional breaks between songs, they will give you tips on how to make different kinds of mix drinks lol.
Spotify and SiriusXM are the best. Don't think i've bought an album since 2019 when i bought some Stapleton albums to listen to while snowboarding in Arapahoe Basin since there's no wifi access/data anywhere on that mountain aside from the lodge.
I like Pandora stations better than both. But I have subs to all of them. Spotify for looking up songs/playlists, pandora for stations and SiriusXM for the boat and when I’m offshore out of cell phone signal, Amazon prime for telling Alexa to play something (mostly my kids).
Yeah I still use pandora a good bit bc i've used it so long and tailored my fav stations to my liking. I started using Spotify this year and have pretty much dove headfirst into it looking for music i used to enjoy in high school/back in the day that i haven't listened to in 20+years. Pandora stations are > Spotify though, you're right about that.
I mainly use Sirius for sports events when i'm driving, or if there's a best of countdown occurring on the music stations i listen to
I use Sirius XM for the Broadway Channel in the car(yeah,yeah, I know) and Yacht Rock streaming on speakers at our pool
