Roy Christopher has a good take on this subject from about 2 years ago.

If this listen-then-delete thing is really a trend among teens I think it could be a statement about the quality of today’s music. I still have a deep connection to so much of the music I discovered when I was 15. Although…I haven’t listened to my copy of Appetite for Destruction in quite some time. Hmmm…

dave…sounds like my cd collection…spend 15 bucks and store them in the most abrasive compartment of my car, my version of delete.

well if we (the young ones) are trying to be as cutting edge as possible and it doesnt cost us much why not toss the old and bring in the new!! note to self…delete maroon 5 back catalog from mp3 collection.

hmmm. live in the moment? don’t wait until we’re ancient and alone surrounded by useless artifacts from our youth?

there might be something to that…..although i tend to backup files over deleting them. maybe a purge movement is coming. delete your digital shackles. be free!

So here’s a thought about something I’m aware of but completely forgot as I jumped into this discussion – today’s younger music fans don’t want to own anything…I’ve noticed with my own teenagers that they will download as much as possible or rip tracks from their friends CDs and as soon as their hard drives are full they just start to delete the song files to make room for others…nothing tactile is ever required, and music is for the moment not something to be cherished and held on too…thoughts??

heres the thing …I think Joshk is on to something with that set list idea, I made that comment to someone yesterday. I think that we need as many opportunities to buy what we hear. This is all about volume. The more creative options we are exposed to the better, in a digitial and not in tangible form. Digital is cheap and eliminates physical waste. Keep throwing the ideas on the wall until they stick and then keep throwing more…we will soon be walking around with iphone like devices like we walk around with cell phones and those devices will connect us to a tremendous amounts of opportunities to purchase music.
