For example, a pair of shorts have absolutely no business being over $100. Are you even a real fan if you're not willing to drop $40 on a bandana from a show you didn't go to? Billionaires are a cancer. Even the ones you like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
palma 7,819 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 let her make hay while the sun shines I guess... I could have a million dollars and wouldn't buy Gaga's cash-grabby merch (looking at you, ARTPOP 10th anniversary water bottle). Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

candydarling 1,815 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 6 hours ago, CautiousLurker said: No, they meant a seedy player - this variant of Sabrina's album comes with a douche who seems charming at first but you have to buy him dinner and he doesn't want to go to a cheap restaurant, and he wants to be picked up and when you get to the restaurant you can clearly tell he's barely invested in anything you have to say, and after he asks you to get him an Uber home cuz he feels too tired and unwell, but he says he wants to hang out again soon and then he block you on all socials... Hence the price tag too specific. are you ok? who hurt you? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpiregrn 996 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 at LEAST it’s creative. A cash grab, but creative and more interesting than the same old t-shirts in the same old cuts over and over again. Still, are people really so into Sabrina Carpenter that they’d buy a $125 CD player? Am I just too old to get her? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is Bluetooth Friend of mine in his log cabin, has a solar powered CD player hooked upon a bluetooth transmitter. He's chopping logs in the nearby forest while streaming music on his Marshall Tufton. Technology is evolving for sure. But to think that CD players are extinct, in an age where new gen vinyls and even cassettes are coming back, where people are buying third hand CRT monitors to play boomer shooters or even watch collector VHS tapes 'the right way', means you might probably live in your own ivory tower ! 1 hour ago, Taumaturg0 said: It's on the wave of '90s/'00s nostalgia, people born in that era are in their 30s and 20s, so they have the income to invest in nostalgia This is also true. I know a lot of people still buying and listening CDs in their cars or on a their home stereo, while also using their phone to stream on a bluetooth box in the garden. 90's nostalgia is a factor for younger gen. But for people past their 50 today, 90's music appeal never waned. New tech is going along very well with old time greats. Plus, sound quality wise, these small BT boxes, as powerful as the are for such small enclosures, they sound just like sh!t compared to an old school three-way speaker system. Anyway. Whatever rocks your boat ! Late to the party but I got a diamond heart 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever rocks your boat ! Oh, I agree on the sound quality. Unless you invest on great bluetooth speakers, the quality drop is significant and even then headphones are still better. I personally prefer vinyl for physical editions because of the sound + aesthetic appeal, but still buy CDs. I grew up wiht physical music. Casettes though... not my favorite, I feel like current music doesn't sound well on that media 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavadour 2,376 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) @Taumaturg0 Paradoxally to everything i said before. I now totally adopted lossless format on digital supports. After having burned many CDs in early 2000 (not counting around 3 thousand vinyls collected along the years before switching to CDs for another thousand copies in the 80's and 90's, in the meantime, switching from cassettes and Walkman to iPods and MP3, as portable systems, I began to keep all my music in FLAC (CD rate or higher). MP3 is an obsolete format invented to share music during the low bandwidth period of early Internet connections. Besides 320kbps and yet, this format sounds awful on a good system. That's where I am now. Lossless music on my tablet, phone and computers, hooked up on powerful BT box or even more powerful PA system. I still play burned CD on my car stereo and that's it.
