Should we stop calling online services where people can post and discuss topics "forums"?
A forum should only be a public meeting place for open discussion. |
Don't even get me started on those goddamned "bathrooms" that don't have bathtubs.

I still call digital releases albums, records, and singles. My phone is the only medium I listen to anymore. It's not sound; it's convenience. I don't even have to get out of bed. |

I think I got up to just over 400 albums before CDs became a thing, and you had to basically buy your whole record collection over again. |

Would have to be.
|
And what about printouts of soundwaves inserted into a blank booklet that one could save for the future? Would that be an album?
|
That's actually the first definition of the word album

I guess the difference is how high the barrier to entry is. In the 70s you needed a lot of cash or record company backing, now anyone can do it. However the high barrier to entry in the past didn't stop plenty of **** music coming out.
Buckethead is an interesting case - putting out an album every day at one point. He prefers not to call them albums, using the term 'pike'. And lots of people put out something every couple of weeks. I have no qualms about the medium of internet only releases, but I do think many of these people over release. Why not record just as much stuff at home, then release only their best of their best once a year or so? |

Chula, are you trolling us?

Do digital albums have a b-side?
|
Bands these days record their music in a studio.....a studio!!!! :mad: and put it on a vinyl record to sell it. They don't use notation paper it and publish it like we used to back in the day, what is this world coming to?
