how does everyone consume their music now? I am pretty much 100% spotify.
Yeah that. I have a playlist which comprises every song I like and I let that play randomly. If I don't want to hear a particular song I skip it.

And in a huge throwback to my teenage years, i make playlists. love putting together a good playlist.
But then every so often i will just binge albums in their entirety. Like i am doing now thanks to this thread
yesterday was I Mother Earth - Dig
Today the Black Album (so far)
100% Spotify. Family subscription. I listen to mostly their pre-created play lists, cos lazy.
As an aside, as an Amazon Prime subscriber, they keep talking me I have access to Prime Music or something for free. Anyone tried it?

@mariner4life Spotify and YouTube for me - interestingly three of my mates have all bought turntables in the last couple of years and are on record buying streaks.

@voodoo I get the same Amazon emails and haven’t looked at it yet either. Let me know if you check it out. 😉
+1 I am not using "unused portion" or something like that until i know i wont get charged more, so I am with @Nepia on this! lol

Californication - by RHCP. Thrashed on van trip round europe - with just the one CD booklet / folder thing to last 4 months. That was one of the few current albumns, and our collective favourite.
I think thta album got panned by the crititcs.
I also now hate it. But it took 3 and a half months.
Generally, I am not a mucis (or album) thrasher. hate listening to the same shit too much.
I'm a fan of the spoity age rather than albums. My album buying strategy back in the day was if liked 2 singles off an album then risk buying the CD. So many fucking lemons.

Yes and I didn't like that I had to further purchase a music subscription to unlock more albums. So I don't use it.

Huh, that doesn't sound very free at all!

I've never bought into the streaming thing, for any media - other than live sport.
So for music - MP3s, I'll download them for most stuff, but any NZ-artists, I'll buy the CDs and rip them to MP3.
For anything I don't have in my collection, but want to check out - I'll give it a listen on youtube, and then decide whether it's worth downloading and adding to the collection. -
@kruse my old ipod was 98% ripped CDs
but when that croaked, i just moved to streaming because i am just the same as everyone else in modern society, i chose the option cheapest and easiest for me at the expense of the artist.

Yeah I used to download everything (movies/tv) etc but I always told myself if I could get everything in high quality and easily accessible then I would pay for its.
That’s kind of been borne out and I’m generally happy to pay - clearly my Scottish and Jewish ancestry has been blunted by the rest of my mongrel mix.

Yeah - I'll happily download pretty much everything/anything - music, movies, TV, ebooks.
But I feel free to do so, by buying nearly every NZ-artist CD that comes out; spending a metric shit-tonne of cash on gig tickets; and paying for the occasional ebook when I can't find it for free, and paying for the occasional hard-copy book; oh, and I was paying for RugbyPass - even though I wasn't legally allowed to use it. (I'm about to cancel that now though, as it seems they've migrated to AWS, which seems to have much better anti-VPN geoblocking... so fuck 'em).
So yeah - I'm ripping off many many people, but... my conscience is relatively clear - with the money I DO spend typically bypassing the big boys. -

I remember that was a huge disappointment and to be fair they haven’t recovered in my opinion.

Fleetwood Mac - The Dance. How much better are the songs when sung by Lindsey?
The aren't. But I'm a massive Nicks fan, so my opinion here is not helpful.
RHCP is these days the ultimate music hipster band these days. Despite their best sellers, and subsequently you'd expect the largest number of fans to enjoy, being their later albums, every time they are mentioned on any thread, there's always a few rushing in to point how great Mothers Milk & earlier stuff was.
Something I whole heartedly disagree with. Mothers Milk is half decent, anything earlier is poorly produced and odd.

Mothers Milk is too quiet. You need to really crank it to get any sort of enjoyment. Once you do that you’re fine cos there’s some magic in there ( although no Blood or Sugar....but lots of sex )

Fleetwood Mac are great. Saw them live in Auckland with the complete most famous lineup (Fleetwood, McVie x 2, Nicks, Buckingham), all the parts complement each other perfectly. Two highlights were The Chain, and Stevie can still do a beautiful of Landslide

They were so incestuous it is a miracle they have never broken up
