A few more songs from the never-ending list of tunes I'm trying to keep up with... and this time, it's all tunes I can't buy on CD.
Often, I find myself listening to an album on the interweb or via some other magical means, and I like it so much that I want a copy on the shelf. Lately however, I've come across a number of records that are just not available on CD. In some cases, it's a vinyl (or cassette!?) only release... in other cases, the record is only available digitally, like this one from Howell Dawdy...
In a similar vein, we find Norwegian Americana star Harald Thune, whose 2020 album The Backbounceability of Humans was a particular favourite during Lockdown.
Kevin Morby is considerably more well known than either Harald or Howell, yet his last record was only released on vinyl.
This is a tragedy as it's a companion piece to his previous album, 2020's This Is A Photograph, a CD that has pride of place in my collection. I'd love to own a piece of plastic and paper containing the follow-up, but it looks unlikely to happen...
Finally today, it's these guys again.
Maybe CDs really are a dead format.
Oh well, here's a cautionary tale about the hidden dangers of gym membership...
I very rarely buy cds these days, the nearest store is about 180km away, but I do buy digitally, then burn onto cd. All digital purchases and acquisitions are burnt so I can play them. As for today's music, I have high hopes for thie Norwegian americana
