Music to Own

I'm one of the very few people who still buys music (almost to prove this I attempted to link to someone else who wrote about how he or she still buys CDs, but couldn't find anything good). I prefer, of course, to buy directly from the band, but even when I can't the quality and reliability of an audio CD is nicer than some crap stolen off the Internet.

However, I still steal music off the Internet for demo purposes. I suspect I'm not alone here, since many of the bands I listen to have samples on their Web site (some bands, like Invert, have samples in Ogg Vorbis, assuring me even more than I'm not alone in my crazy views). This weekend I went threw my downloaded music and came up with this list of bands who's albums I need more of:

• Big Black


• El Guapo (specifically Fake French)


• Jesus H. Christ


• Mermen


• Rapeman


• Sam Bisbee


• Six Finger Satellite


• Sleepytime Gorilla Museum


• Wack Ass Egyptians

Sadly, I missed the Sam Bisbee concert, since no one wanted to go with me who was over 21. I hope I don't miss the other upcoming shows for the same reason.
