@pierlu
I’m waiting for someone to do a real cost study on digital distribution. All the hardware & infrastructure required to keep those services running, etc.

I wouldnt be entirely surprised if it aint as green as people think.

In answer to your question, Damon: I like the idea of putting the word SUCK on the side of your product, pre-emptively. That could help decide. :)

No, I wasn’t being sarcastic. i actually love cassettes. I’m using cassette tape loops to build a musique concrete/sound collage sampler.

I think these are perfect. A great way to distribute portfolios, if you are a computer music artist. After all, with 64Mb, I could include 45 minutes of music, and all of my recent software. I wrote a lengthy post about the utility of these: http://www.thisisnotalabel.com/talk.php?bp=373

well
in a world full of waste, i think digital distribution is a blessing: less plastic, less metal, less of everything over our environment.

so this gift seems to me a little outdated… there’s no need to swap music (expecially mp3s) over some physical medium.

it feels so odd to me. just replacing old waste with new waste.

said that,

that packaging is really cool.

Retro with silly character. I like it. In a market with so much pointless stuff we all love anyway, why not? Who decides what pointless stuff is cool and what pointless stuff sucks?
