Ok. Today's artists at Alberta Scene were totally cool. I wish I could have watched the show instead of just half-listening through the wall. Anyway, if you want to check them out at their official sites: Wil & Ann Vriend. They have a few dls and stuff. Yeah. Totally worth a listen.
And now I'm going to go away before I whine about my sunburn and not-able-to-get-Tanatos-ness again.
<EDIT> Aiya... y'know, when I got into Hyde, I had to actually BUY Roentgen to hear anything that wasn't Shallow Sleep, Evergreen, or Angel's Tale. I hate how his music is shared so freely these days. I mean, I know artists only make, like $3-4 off a CD, but Hyde has to have been gypped out of millions by now. It's kind of disgusting. :\
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you truly love the music, make the effort to buy it. Please.
And the next person I see uploading an entire album (or three >:|) is so feeling my wrath. </EDIT>

I bought 666 before I'd heard anything from it, fell in love, then found a copy of the nice "fold out" Roentgen and had to have it.
I do download whole albums, I'll admit, but then if they're good, I BUY THEM. I own about 70% of the stuff on my playlist, and anything I don't own, I have every intention of buying at some point.
I can never understand why people wouldn't want to support artists they love.

For example, when I was first introduced to AYA, I downloaded all 3 of her albums (2 plus the mini). And because I love her songs very much, I bought the International BMG release of Baghdad Sky (my favorite of her albums), which came with the mini album, Kinjirareta uta. I have every intention to buy Senjou no Hana, just not right now.
At the same time, there are some artists that I got their entire discography, but I don't really care for their songs... Maybe just one or two songs tops. Those, I might end up deleting them one of these days. I have no intention of buying their albums, and I'm not listening to those songs on my computer anyway, so what's the point of having them?
I strongly believe that if I love the artist, I absolutely must get their albums. I want to own it. Even if I just buy it and put it away just to HAVE it and then continue to listen to the MP3's, I have to have it.
