Are You Buying It?


If you've been in a Best Buy recently, you might have noticed that they've taken away some CD shelf space. Why? Because there's more people buying Guitar Hero than CDs these days. And you can't blame them. Sales continue to plummet to new terrible depths, month after month. Of course, this doesn't mean MUSIC itself is going away. With downloading, it's likely that MORE people have MORE music than the big selling days of the 90s. But with less people actually putting money up, it makes me curious.

What was the last actual CD you bought in a store for full price? I don't care if it was Limp Bizkit in 1998.

Personally I've been getting lots of music off eMusic lately. (40 songs for 10 bucks a month, not bad and not naughty by government standards) But I bought a hard copy of Jimmy Eat World's latest, "Chase This Light" the other week, and it's excellent if you're into that whole "blisteringly poppy and extremely heartfelt" which I definitely have a soft spot for.
