So I finally got out and picked up the new Jack’s Mannequin CD today. I swear the record companies are pushing everybody to piracy, or at least online downloads. $18 for a CD is crazy. If it wouldn’t have been Jack’s Mannequin I would have gotten it online instead.

Some bands I just have to have the CD, others I download from Amazon, and if it’s a band that I don’t know much about, but want to hear them, I will torrent it. Then if I like it I buy it, and if not, I don’t listen to it. Most of what I listen to isn’t mainstream, so I support them as much as possible, but the price of CDs is sure getting outrageous.
