I have to confess.... I don't listen to new music. The way the music industry is now, these weird artists who can't even speak a decent word of english and in their lyrics appear so threatening, you're almost frightened to turn on your hifi in fear of being CD abused lol.
I hunt down the collections of the music I grew up with and OK it can be expensive at times, but in time to come, I'd like my kids (if ever I have any) to grow up knowing that the music I grew up in and worked in has a bloomin good effect. lew On 28 Nov 2011, at 17:30, Missy Hoppe wrote: > "OK I don't buy from itunes.
