Who still downloads shit?  Spotify?  Youtube? etc etc....

Seems like almost all download codes are going away, in this day and age where there is a 100 different places to easily listen to a 20 year old record.

You ask who does something inconvenient and dated on a record forum? ;)

 

Serious answer though would be people who may be spending time in places where there is no reception/wifi regularly. I download stuff all the time. Guess I'm just an old man who won't get with the times.

Some of us don't give a shit about compressed streams.  Crazy huh?  Further, I have multiple copies of this album already and yeah, I can listen to it anywhere at any time, but that doesn't mean everyone does, can,  or prefers to.  There's multiple reasons I could go on about wanting downloadable files, but I'm not going to bother here other than to say would it wouldn't kill the label to offer up some downloads as a lot of new releases do.

Download cards add an unnecessary level of complication and stress to reselling limited edition vinyl. Whenever a customer emails me to complain that their download card expired or wasn't included with their $150 record, I send them this boilerplate response:

In case there are still some of you out there who dont appreciate how great the White Album was, here's another example of what could've been on that album: 

Typical melodies without any of the fuzz = no bueno. The more and more I hear from Rivers lately the more I grow skeptical of the forthcoming Black Album.

Wow that was bad. Made it through almost a full minute before I had to turn it off.

Acknowledging how terrible it could have been really does elevate Everything Will Be Alright in the End and the white album a bit. They're both decent, dumb fun albums that become good/noteworthy Weezer albums because everything else recent is so awful.
