[microsound] [OT] Glut of new cds of just no money to spend?

[scott allison <lipistal3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been thinking some, about the past thread concerning people buying 
less and less experimental cds... I wonder if it really has as much to do 
with there being to many choices/a flooded market or maybe the problem could 
also be related to the current down turn in consumer spending and the 
increasing devaluation of the US dollar, (maybe this only relates to US 
music buyers?), (we have less and less money to spend, and more and more 
people seem to be getting laid-off). Are microsounders in the US spending 
less on music now than you did four years ago, if so, do you feel its 
because you have less money or just that there is less music you want to 
purchase? How about people in other countries? Also if the US dollar 
continues to drop, imported cds will cost more (look at current exchange 
rate of US to European), possibly translating into even higher prices for 
imported discs, but that would probably mean that US discs sent to other 
countries would be cheaper because the US dollar is devalued. Am I way of 
course with my thinking here?

Best
Scott Allison
