Casey and I are up to our eyeballs with packing. I'm in the mode of lets get rid of everything.. and that should be obvious with Saturday's blog post. Easy Street Records didn't have a check signer on Saturday so I stopped by today to pick up my check. I'm still in shock that after all these years I got a check from them. Clearly I've spent more in the store than this check especially because I have this strange OCD thing where I have to buy compact discs in multiples of three. So now I am reevaluating how I am going to purchase music. Whenever I see a band on tour 85% of the time I purchase something that they are selling... Is this still a practice I'll be doing? Will I simply encode the compact disc and get rid of it?? The only compact discs I didn't sell East Street where ones that were made by hand by the artists or record labels (eg: Ball of Wax Quarterly, Karl Blau's beautiful Kelp series or a compact disc that has been inserted in a sewn and altered old pillowcase and silkscreened, like Cock and Swan's first release). I feel like I will continue to buy those... but will I buy the next hot album on compact disc? Probably not. Tune in next week for... What about Vinyl???
