Rediscovering music
Perhaps it is the age. Or the quality of my car audio system. Or maybe it's just considering that somebody working for a year or more on a project needs a compensation for that. But most likely, it is the fact that I have acquired - finally - some good hifi components.
I still can't listen to it at home because I still need to buy the speakers (who can give me good advise?). But in the car, I enjoy both mp3's and CDs. And with a good system, you hear de difference between CD quality and compressed audio.
So since some time, I am actually buying (or getting) CDs again, rather than finding them in the local library and ripping them. Of course that's still a possibility to get to know music. Even downloading is something that you could do if you want to get to know the music. The only thing is that you'd have to buy it afterwards.
And it is too bad that not all the music is available anymore. This weekend, for example, I checked for Soley
from DobaCaracol
, great World/Indie music I learned to know via a colleague of mine. DobaCaracol are a Canadian band having two female lead singers. As they are from Quebec, most of their music is sung in French, while some other seems to be sung in a made-up language (perhaps it is a local Indian language?) Unfortunately, none of the CDs - they have three in total - are available now. They are in between record companies, so nobody is currently printing their CDs. Too bad, otherwise I might have bougth their other CDs too.
Nevertheless, I bought 7 CDs recently (although only 3 albums really), about which I will tell you in one of my future items.

For some "hot" advice on speakers, try to contact Tars...
As to the music: I gave up buying CD's. They just take up too much space :o)

Thanks for the hint, I'll check with Tars! As for the CDs, I completely understand your point, considering the amount of CDs you have!!
Cheers,
Vince
