where do you live? if you're that into music its worth thinking about moving out. seriously... thats one of the main reasons i moved from Norfolk to Nottingham.

there are always mail order catalogues, and im sure you can make it to an HMV once a month or so... its hard to find anywhere THAT cut off in the UK!

Anyway.. making it easier to buy/sell CDs is one of the good points of the internet. its just making it easier for bands to market themselves and for fans to 'obtain' their music thats bad.

There was a point at which the internet could have been entirely beneficial to the music scene... with music forums, wiki, band/label info and distros, like the peak of a mountain :P Myspace, iTunes and the mp3 have crossed that line and its downhill from then on!

I`m the same I live in a remote area

Yes your right there are catalogues . However I spent 7 YEARS looking for one album. I spend ages sending off SAE`s , phoning up specialist dealers all over the UK. Nothing.

Got connected to the internet , found it in 3 days in a little shop in New York that I would never have found otherwise.

HMV?

That goes against your anti mainstream views a bit doesn`t it. Wouldn`t you rather I`d buy from small record companies online instead?
