I mean yeah it's cool and all that you can just go on demonoid or piratebay or whatever kids use these days and get an artist's entire discography and all, and I like this ability!

but at the same time it's pretty sucky because it used to mean something when someone said, "I have all their albums." It used to mean that you actually spent a few hundred dollars and took the time to find them and pay for them and once you pay that much for a discography you're going to listen to it. It feels like having the whole set was a point of pride that you were really into a band, that you were a Serious Fan of their work

now someone goes and downloads the whole thing and brags about it when to be honest they only listen to maybe half a dozen (or seven!) songs out of the whole thing. not necessarily you guys. other people. this makes me sad!

what do y'all think?

also I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense. I haven't slept in two days - who wants a hug?

sean:
thats why you have to say "i have all their albums on vinyl" to sound cool in 2011.

Hey, if you want to give me a few hundred dollars so I can get all those ultra-rare Japan-only Boris vinyl pressings, go ahead.

If you wanna lend me the magic powers to conjure up all the Mountain Goats cassettes that don't exist anymore that'd be pretty cool too

StaedlerMars:
Also Spotify has most anything that people would make that claim about who would make that claim and not mean they own all the physical albums (does that sentence even make sense) that you could just respond 'yeah well me too' and load up Spotify. Unless you don't live in Europe that is.

Anyways, all the cool kids only listen to bands who've only released one album, and only released that album on re-used casette recorded over a Coltrane and Thelonious Monk session from 1957 at the Five Spot, so yeah.
