Here are the facts -
1. I want to hear it.
2. You want to hear it.
3. Even if i was on the other side of the planet and was able to find one
of the few US Starbucks who has it I wouldn't pay for it. Because I'm not into some brand loyality trip were I feel its my duty to buy certain products a band puts out. I don't buy anything unless I want it. And personally, I don't want to buy a $16 dollar greatest hits compilation just to get one new song on a CD. I don't even use CD's. It's not an issue to me about some sort of bullshit politic of either slagging off SY for "expecting" you to buy something that you don't feel is worth buying. ATTENTION - buy shit because you want it - not out of some bullshit "I have to give my money to global corporate capitalism because my heroes Sonic Youth are selling them
their logo and image and recordings". I mean do you really expect SY to go
on some capitalist morality trip and only release records that meet certain standards? What's the fucking point? Records are released for MONEY! If it wasnt solely about money you would release the shit for free! Even if Sonic Youth publically said they didn't want their fans to download their music for free (which they haven't) i'd still fuckin do it! I'm personally not interested in some bullshit idea about paying certain corporations and companies in cash for the right to listen to music. That's just fucking bullshit. I am not concerned with keeping some sort of capitalist ethic when i listen to music. I want to listen to music, so I fucking listen to it. End of story. If the music is there and I want to hear it I will try to. Just like any other sane person.
If yr so concerned with what sonic youth think why don't you go ask them are they gonna be mad at you for downloading the song? Maybe if you really worshipped yr idols enough you'd have read that interview were Lee talks about how he downloads loads of music
for free. Do you really think they give a fuck? Do you only listen to music if the artist gives you permission? If you want to buy the CD then buy it.
If you don't then don't. If you can't cos you can't even get access to it then don't deny yrself the pleasure of hearing it.
The people who complain about not paying for the music you listen to should really walk around everyday with their ears covered
so they are deaf in case they accidently hear a song playing out of someones car or at their friends house or wherever.
Sonic Youth seem like cool people, I've never met them, I wish them all the best financially. I also wish myself all the best financially and that means not spending money I can't afford to hear something I could get for free. If the band doesn't want us to use this forum to spread it then that's their wish. But we'll get it some other way anyway so we might aswell.
SO CAN WE ALL GET OFF THIS ARGUMENTATIVE TRIP AND JUST PM EACH OTHER THE SONG!
Someone PM it to me, then I will PM it to whoever asks, and then they can do the same etc.
