*sigh* Just happens to be the month that Bauhaus releases their first album in 25 years.

I'll try to wait, but I'm making no promises.

isnt that we're just doing from now on? Those evil old bastards will die out naturally because they are just not relevant any more

I dont think I ever support them in any way, unless watching free to air TV of old soul documentaries counts

can they charge me for looking at free tv?

Steal the album, find an address where you can get mail to someone in the band, whether it be fan mail or whatever, then mail them a check for the amount you would have paid for it in the store.

I dont think Ive bought an album under one of the major labels for years.

Most of what they shovel out is shit anyway.

Fuck em and good riddance. Same to apple too for devaluing music - TBH I despise them more than the RIAA.

it just boggles the mind

I am now of the opinion that they are just getting what they can on the way down - they must know that suing 13 year old children is suicidal - all this idiocy is going to result in is a totally independent music industry where no artists sign to the kind of labels that are involved in this kind of dispicable behaviour

It actually makes me feel excited - good riddance to the greedy old bastards
