Then there's the issue of "there's only what you can download." Honestly, I think a good "who cares" applies here: I honestly don’t see much difference between an album that you can't find in mp3 and one that you just can't find in stores, like I've experienced countless times up to about ten years ago. With the only difference being that today I can at least know that album exists (I hope the labels you mention have at least a website...), twenty years ago if you were lucky you heard it mentioned by some friend. I've already told you what I think about labels: in my opinion, they are destined to disappear. It pains me to say it, but they are no longer necessary. All the efforts that had to be made up to 15 years ago just to try to break out of your local-regional dimension can now be bypassed with a couple of clicks. Today, if a band or a label decides to release only on cassettes or vinyl (by the way, at least in the genre I listen to, there are tons of rippable vinyls available, but whatever), they do so knowing that in this way, they are ignoring the main distribution channel. Twenty years ago there was no alternative. Today it's a "choice of side": do you want to be "the purest and hardest", only release transparent vinyls and cassettes, distribute only in social centers, and not advertise? Fine, just know that only Geb and a few of his friends will buy your records. I don’t want to get you more worked up than you already are, but I repeat: in my opinion, it's an anachronistic attitude, a refusal to see reality, a refusal to accept the current state of affairs. Or it means wanting to consciously remain niche, relegating oneself to a dimension limited to a few chosen ones. But then let’s not complain if the records don’t sell.

Be careful, because caps lock is the refuge of the insecure. It's not that writing in uppercase gives your arguments more weight. I have the impression that you haven't yet grasped a fundamental premise: we are discussing (more or less calmly) something that neither you nor I can change. You can bark as much as you want, things will not change. In fact, they are destined to change, but not in the way you would like. It's not a matter of being right or wrong, but simply acknowledging an inexorable change. One that has already taken place. That's why I believe the bassist of King Bong's statement should be taken into account: bands, labels (keeping in mind what was said above about their impending disappearance), and listeners have changed the way they understand music. Alberto says: "People are no longer willing to pay for music." It's true. Period. Whether this is a negative thing is something that you, I, and a few other dinosaurs who still have 90-minute TDKs with a vinyl recorded on each side think. Our children will probably have a good laugh at the thought that there was a time when buying a record meant coughing up more than 5 euros.

Forget about "sorry for the interruption"!! Personally, I get really excited when comments come in from the authors of the reviewed works. Welcome to debasio! :)

Like The Decline, I also found my way to them by backtracking through thrash. Really glad I did!:)

Which is exactly what I said. Here's an excerpt from comment 30: "The advantage, however, is that now I can listen to and buy anything I want, even things I didn't even know existed before, most of the time spending much less, and most of the time already knowing that what I'm about to purchase is worth the money I'm spending." For Geb (if I understood correctly), this aspect of downloading doesn't sit well either and is just a way to ease one's conscience. For him (I apologize if I'm summarizing a bit too harshly), "downloading makes you lazy, trivializes everything."

"I'm one of those who now download obsessively-compulsively, absorbing only half of what they download (...) but then they buy the 'music of the heart' original" + "In short, Geb, I think like you." In my opinion, you think more like me, but maybe I misunderstood...

In the sense that it sucks or in the sense that you liked it?!?! In the meantime, I still haven't stopped listening to Rolling in the Deep: it has an amazing vibe. It almost makes me want to do some headbanging with a pillow under my shirt. New pop-loop song for Bartolo!:D

Come on, Star, Rolling in the Deep is a good pop-soul piece. The girl has a nice voice and it doesn't seem like she's focusing much on her physical appearance (also because...), on the visual aspect, on media impact. In short, for the 3 songs I've heard, it seems we're a bit far from that plastic Gaghiano.
