Subject: [microsound] [OT] Glut of new cds of just no money to spend?
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 19:25:40 +0000
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
