Oasis...free internet release? Oct 9, 2007 8:47:50 GMT -5

See radiohead...according to nme.com, both oasis and jamiroquai are considering free releases of their new albums via the internet.

1. Noel would never go for it, namely for the millions lost in revenue (yes, millions...even after millions of jackasses download it illegally, or legally I guess in this case

) and for how ridiculously "me too" it would look after radiohead "pioneered" the act.

2. Wow, just another method for record companies to bow down to pure thievery, with the dire attempt to make it look "innovative".

3. Cool, this will be great for the industry! Sure, just look what has happened to concert ticket prices since the onslaught of online music downloads. Sold-out venues hold the same amount of fans no matter what....lost record sales profits WILL be made up by other means.

4. Oxymoronically, this "extra exposure" to new audiences (read: "new fans") will surely be a plus for the band. Right, there is such an overwhelming innundation of "new music" on the i-net, that it's impossible to listen to even one percent of it, I don't care how much time you have on your hands. Just another pathetic ploy from those who want to legalize theft via the web.

this shit goes from bad to worse.

I download from time to time and I surely enjoy the PM's I get on here of full albums that I may not have ever purchased. For the bands I really like, I still like having the physical CD for the liner notes, lyrics, etc and the comfort knowing I have the real 'backup' in case my computer goes pffffft!

Hopefully they will still offer a traditional cd package.

nothing personal, but your "excuse" isn't terribly dissimilar from milllions of others, although I would bet you do indeed d-load substantially less than most. I too am guilty of stealing music- although a vast majority are live bootlegs and b-sides that are nearly impossible to obtain otherwise. The fact of the matter is that so many practice the act that it has finally reached the point where the INDUSTRY has become villanized and thus have resorted to practices that are nothing short of fiscally absurd. Try to think of any other product/service that lierally gives away their product...not for a trial period, but for all intents and purposes: FOREVER. Like I said, WE will all pay for it in the end...its no different from retail theft in the respect that the lost revenue from stolen goods will be recovered through price increases for the goods sold.

I am certainly not a saint, but then I'm also neither ignorant nor arrogant enough to ignore basic principles of morality.

Soooo when envirochic or mimihopps offer up albums like Charlatans, Stereophonics, Arcade Fire, Kasabian etc., do you not ask for the PM?

I turned about 8 of my friends onto Kasabian based on the ability to burn copies of their debut. Most of my friends love what I listen too but aren't as adventurous to check things out.

They loved that CD and when Kasabian came to town, 7 of us went to the show. 6 more than would have ever gone w/out the ability to freely copy music.

In about 10 years all the bands that will be relevant will have formed during or after the digital/download revolution and they will have figured out how to sell themselves & their music in one way or another.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
