Situation: Where you d/l an album (historically) and liked it but were glad you paid the artist NOTHING!

Last year, the Babyshambles album,, in point.

There was a link somewhere on the internet, that led to another, that led to the whole album mp3s. So I got the tracks, and listened and enjoyed it.

But mercy. If someone has irritated me to the point of value last year, Pete was that person. I feel like he should not get my hard earned, after the lack of concerted effort on his part, album not necessarily included.

so, shake/slap down.

Debate! Tell me I'm wrong. Or right! Or other.

I did pay for babyshambles, also liked it, but am sure that money is now is in the pocket of a crack dealer.
have been thinking of starting a defend the indefensible thread on the babyshambles album because he is so hated on these boards.

I don't hate the bands. I think they are fine. I bloody feel sorry for them.

Pete. I have a feeling that his best stuff is behind him now. I have no evidence for that, but I do have a sense of how can he continue doing anything worthwile now.

I'm glad it exists but I don't want to encourage him.

I know what you mean. A lot of the best songs on Down in Albion had been around in some form or other for years. A Rebours was Curtain Call reworked, for instance. Then again, he may be like Iggy Pop - a write-off, a complete mess, then suddenly you have Lust for Life, the Passenger.

Not a hypothetical situation at all but an actual one for me: Finding and d/ling mostly-fine (and long OOP) early albums by mega-asshole/long-ago southern rocker Charlie Daniels.

Luckily for me, Courtney Love or 50 Cent will never produce anything I enjoy. Otherwise I would would have to pay those bitches some money. I give back.

by not buying pete d's records, i'm keeping him from having money to buy crack...

i do feel bad about not buying my 2 tAtU records, though, thus keeping them from buying more schoolgirl uniforms.
