I come from punkrock and buying cheap compilations released by labels like it was the norm back in the days (Get Punk O Rama 2 by Epitaph records now if you’re curious) really made the music lover I am today, spinning them like crazy because that was almost the only music I had access to.

I dreamt so much about unlimited streaming access back then. 30 years later I realize it was a chimera that broke a lot of my will to dig into music and spend time on more rewarding albums. I’m just sick of the non stop novelty.

MP3 era was the best for this. Because a lot of music was then easy to get, and communities on the Internet were great. Streaming is just mass consumption, or I just don’t have the discipline to restrain.

Well, I’m now back to my very own library, supporting bands by buying their stuff on bandcamp or spending time on random old records I slept too much time on.
