Liam Lynch - United States of Whatever

Picked up another small mountain of CDs at the weekend for as little as 33p each. As I've banged on about many times before the CD revival is just around the corner people. Here's why:

- CDs sound better than downloads...and they're often a lot cheaper these days too.

- You can't stick a bunch of downloads on your shelf and go "Ooooh pretty" or show off your crap/weird taste to your mates or that person you want to cop off with.

- Apple/Microsoft/Spotify can't decide to block access to the tunes that you've already paid for or suddenly start charging a fortune to listen to stuff.

- CDs remind us of a time before the ruddy internet which, lets face it, is doing more to screw up the human race than pretty much any invention ever.

- Unlike vinyl CDs are pretty resilient, they don't take a huge amount of expensive kit to play but they still have a little book of lyrics and pretty pictures to look through.

- If you don't buy CDs they'll end up in a landfill and all the ickle baby penguins will die.

I know, I know...streaming/downloading is more convenient blah blah blah but, in the words of Mr Liam Lynch, whose CD single I bought on Saturday, I'm like...whatever.
