When the music industry is failing and no one is buying CDs the solution is always to charge more money. It worked for Abercrombie and Fitch earlier this decade right? Oh wait…
When the content creators are asking you to charge less money and willing to take the pay cut the solution is always to charge more. It’s worked really well for the airlines right? Oh wait…
When your business is failing completely, the best way to fix it is by charging more for the same level of content. That totally worked for MySpace right? Oh wait…
And they wonder why piracy exists. Here is Elvis Costello telling us to NOT buy his music during this holiday season, but to buy Louis Armstrong or listen to his through “unconventional means.”
If you should really want to buy something special for your loved one at this time of seasonal giving, we can whole-heartedly recommend, “Ambassador of Jazz
” – a cute little imitation suitcase, covered in travel stickers and embossed with the name “Satchmo” but more importantly containing TEN re-mastered albums by one of the most beautiful and loving revolutionaries who ever lived – Louis Armstrong.
