Baad music retail service.

I was in the music store (god knows it's been a while ahh...mp3s) and I had no idea what
music was what or what was popular. Anyways, I looked in the newest releases and there
was one from Jessica Simpson. I picked it up and the sales dude said to me
"excuse me, are you trying to feel young again?" I'm like "what?" and his reply was

"Only 12 yr olds listen to Jessica Simpson. Trying to look young again?"

I walked out of the store, and thought to myself, "well, I think I will stick to downloading."

What kind of attitude is that for a person in a store to have?

[Feathers in Hair]

Ugh! Maybe this person thought he could make himself feel cool by putting down others. I really don't like it when people do that.

[Malus 12:9]

\Well, it aint gonna get him far, lol.

And just how old was this 'Dude' who felt the need to comment on your age?
Be grateful your a man Renaldo because when you're a woman and they lable you as "Ma'am" that's when you know your age is showing. I was in the beer store one day and the guy asked me "Do you need help out with that Ma'am?" I just glared at him and said "The day I need help out with my own case of beer is the day I quit drinking, 'Son'!" I'm sure I made my point quite clear!

Although I do feel he had a bad attitude & shoudln't have said it, he saved you from even considerign buying such a bad artist. Don't download! It's so wrong! Buy! buy! Buy! You're ripping off musicians! How would you fell if someone stole your wages? When I'm older & become the rockstar I'm destined to be () you'll be stealing from me aswel! I'm sure you can afford it!

Musicians like Metallica will be begging people like us to download their music ten years from now. Why should we be made to buy the whole CD from a band who was fortunate enough to be a 'One Hit Wonder'. I think it's ridiculous. If I like the whole album, I'll buy it. As far as I'm concerned if we download the music from the intenet and we like it, then we'll be more inclined to go out make the purchase. As for stealing their wages, don't forget the revenue that comes from the concerts they're performing all over the world and the $2.00 T-shirts they're selling at $40.00 a pop. This is just an example of some of the ways these musicians are making money from us.

[The Black Whirlwind]

the musicians make us pay $18.00 for an entire cd when we only want one or two songs on it. Its a waste of money to buy a cd, might as well download, or if you think you're stealing, buy it on itunes.

I'd have probably told him that I was shopping for my younger sister, but that since he was such an arrogant arse, I'd be taking my business elsewhere, thank you, never to set foot in this store again. What a tosser!

I agree with what you say about trying music by downloading it, I do that too. Firstly metallica were not a one hit wonder, although their new stuff is a bit iffy, they've made some great albums in the past, what's the point of having a couple of songs by loads of artists? Most bands make good albums, & having a couple of songs on their own just isn't as good, most albums flow together & make the songs even better because of that. Go out & buy albums, If you don't like the whole albums then oh well, but say you buy the albums, there could be even just a couple of hidden gems they didn't release, most artists will only release the songs that are popular, not necessarily their best, from buying albusm I've onyl heard a couple of songs from I've discovered so many amazing songs I never would have heard otherwise.

You don't have to buy their t-shirts or whatever, they don't make them, but stealing something they have created, made into a good piece of music, or even a bad one, it doesn't matter, stealing something they have used their minds to create is awful, & there's no excuse.

In a couple of years time people's music collection will be just a load of random songs on a computer, I am proud to own over two hundred decent albums, it's not jsut the songs, it's the album artwork, the songs, the order of the songs, & everything else that makes an album, an album.

But when you look at it this way, some musicians/artists rip us off, no? They release a couple of good songs, and then they do a couple of "quick rushed" songs just to sell the album for $30.
At least with downloading one particular song, you get the song you want and do not have to pay for a whole cd filled with rubbish. or filled with the same song on the cd 5 times, each labelled as "House mix" or "Back Boogy dance mix., or something similar. And most artists these days only remake old songs anyways, which have a bass thump beat thrown behind them.

Another reason I d/l is because I have found that music sotres (much like MSN Messenger 7) cater mostly for teenagers, and it's gettig rather difficult to find decent music in them.
