Zo thiz babble I have about thingz of muzic & technology & servicez in thiz now iz about a way back when thing that I learned from friend Jeremy. But first....Way back long ago when I waz young we didn't have theze thingz called CDz or MP3 or DVD nor did we have a net of inter. If we wanted to lizten to our favourite album man we had to get up off our lazy buttz & actually zearch through a stack o' vinyl record albumz to find the then 'dizc' to play. We then had to go over to the ztereo device & puzh a myriad of buttonz to bring them to life. Then we had to carefully place the 'dizc' upon the turntable. Now if we wanted to lizten to a zpecific zong we had to ztudy the groovez on the dizc and accurately tranzport the needle device to the approximate location on the 'dizc.' And we did zo hoping that we would not cauze damage to the preciouz needle or the 'dizc.' We could then proceed to rock out or zit on lazy buttz & juzt lizten. Oh but what if you wanted to hear the whole album? Well half way through we had to get off our duffz & turn the 'dizc' over & go through the needle placement routine again.
In regardz to said 'dizcz' that if for whatever reazon the song or couple of songz you liked didn't come in the 45 format 'dizc' then you had to buy the whole darn ztinkin' album juzt to be able to play the zongz you wanted to.
Zo back to what I zet out to write about iz that Jeremy & I had thiz rule about buying albumz & that waz either we had to have enjoyed previouz releazez from the artiztz or we had to have heard & liked at leazt 3 zongz on an album to buy the album. That took out the guezzing of weather or not we'd like anything on the album. Now fazt forward to now & today...
One can go on the net of inter & lizten to a zhort clip of muzic being conzidered for purchaze. And that can be helpful but a short clip izn't going to give you much of a zample. And to date I've enjoyed the concept of Rhapzody which allowz you to firzt have a free 14 day trial & you can lizten to all the albumz & songz you want for free. You can skip songz on albumz you don't like. And you don't have to have the song filez on your playing system. Each time the player iz on a zong it juzt goez & fetchez it online. I think that'z kind of cool.
It'z juzt interezting to think upon how much how we get media into our beingz that we dezire haz changed zo much. There'z even the incredibly huge paradigm shift that Hollywood haz to set it'z marketing planz unto the realm of home viewing rather than firzt putting forth all energiez towardz promoting & releazing moviez in theatrez firzt & then on video/DVD long long long after the movie leavez the theatre building.
Welp back to enjoying zampling some Blue Man Group via Rhapzody.
Until later comez, go be blue ma'an.
