hey guys.... i haven't really posted here before so.....what's up? anyway, i have a few things to share with everybody (including the band dudes!). first of all, i totally support mp3s, burning cds, etc. etc. (not burning cds AS MUCh but let me get to that before y'all get pissed) Alright, so my girlfriend and i have spend hours upon hours downloading everything possible, thenwe work our asses off in addition to going to school to pay for all the cds we have. We started collecting cds (that's right, collecting) about... a year ago and we currently have approximately 300 unique albums. If a cd is especially good, we will each buy a copy, but mostly we stick to one cd between the two of us. That said, we have 2 copies of empiricism (borknagar), 2 copies of hate crew (we live in the states, but had to order the finnish import right when it came out), 4 copies of iced earth's horror show (different editions), 4 copies of opeth's deliverence, etc. etc. Without mp3s, i wouldn't have ever bought cds from any of those bands, including cob. How the hell am i supposed to know what they sound like. As for cd burning, i have burned many cds, but when i burn a cd i always intend to buy it. otherwise i just stick a few random songs onto a cd and listen to them, not the whole album. so i support them if people will be honest and eventually pay the fuckin band! i will gladly give my money to the people who make work pass by an hour quicker. By the way, janne, out of the 150,000 ftr albums you sold, 2 of those are ours.
