Re: [microsound] [OT] Glut of new cds of just no money to spend?
I think there is less buying/interest here in europe also. But the
growing economic crisis (whatever the talking heads around wall street
are saying - look at the actual numbers, they just dont add up) in the
US proably makes it worse as it becomes more visible. We also have kind
of a more negative 'collective social mood' now which probably doesnt
help interest in experimental music.
Or maybe its just what we think ... anyone got some kind of stats of
microsound cd-sales?

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?
