I was reading another kid's blog about how he didn't want to download the new Motion City Soundtrack album because how he's like this band since high school and it will mean more to him to listen to it on the original release date off the album that he purchased himself, and it reminded me of how i do pretty much the same thing... I feel i can't just download an album i can go out and buy that was made by a band that means so much to me.. I have gone out and bought every Fall Out Boy album and The Academy Is.. It has more of a sentimental feeling when you go out and buy the album and you know you own it instead of just logging into iTunes and downloading it.
People always ask me why i keep going out with buy albums and i just feel that if i don't go and spend a little more time searching for it and holding it in my hands and maybe spending a little more money on it, yes, but i know it's here with me and it's something i can physically see... i love seeing the cover art, and the album art and looking through the booklet.. just the experience of having it. It just means more to me than just typing in the band name, or album name and hitting "Buy Album" on iTunes. I take pride in the fact i own so many albums.. and if that makes me out of date, then call me what you will, i don't really care.
I mean, I'm not hating on iTunes, i love that invention... it's one of the best. I use it all the time, if you know me at all... i asked for iTunes cards for xmas... i feel it's the easiest way to find bands that aren't in stores... those local bands that i love so much.. they're not signed to a label, so they're not at a store chillin' on a rack... i need to find them elsewhere and if they don't have they're music downloadable somewhere else, i need to hit up iTunes.. i love it. But if i know for a fact that i can just hit up a Best Buy and get a copy there I will.. i love owning the album.. it makes me feel just accomplished in my life.. haha..
ok. i just felt like i needed to say that.. it's out there now.. :) hey look it's that little guy again! so cute. haha.
