Third World NZ

[Usarka]

I like travelling, going to a country and looking at how other people live. The markets where everyone buys those cheap casio watches that we had in the 80's, or pulls a horse and cart because cheap supply of cars isn't a reality yet and they get paid the equivalent of one banana per hour. Haha you stupid backwards bastards.

So I'm sitting in prosperous NZ trying to buy some digital music online. Itunes says "sure, but only this AAC format which on your non-apple stereo is the equivalent of a cassette tape that's been high speed dubbed 20 times", and every other place I can find it says "sorry, you live in a backwards shithole we can't sell it to you".

So I'm actually going to a record shop today (if I can find one) to see if they have the music equivalent of an 80's casio watch - a thing called a CD. If this fails I'll don my pirate hat and be a criminal and steal from those overseas arse wipes. People in developed countries must be rofling and tut tutting in equal doses. Rich fuckers, suck my cock.

As James Deuce says... Jb Hi-Fi.

A CD can be even cheaper than the same album from itunes.

And you get to actually OWN it

Also, you avoid giving apple any money, which is a good thing.

Make sure you get the ones with added crackle/static... it almost sounds like yer listening to an LP.

If you're lucky it will include a lyric sheet so you can sing along...

And dont forget to make a tape so you can play it on your Walkman

Or get your mate to sing it down a cardboard tube and record it on your cellphone. About the same audio quality.

I still buy cd's because I'm a luddite, but as was pointed out at a concert I went to the other day, when was the last time you saw someone selling a signed mp3 on ebay?

I signed up for itunes and in a small effort at skewing their user stats put my age at 86 years old, it told me I didn't meet the age requirements.

JB's was the plan, but we still have real groovy in auckland cbd if i feel like putting the saddle on the horse and venturing into that ghost town....

The record companies will call me a thief, and then say fuck off nob cheese you live in Neuvo Zealandia you must be a chilli eating immigrant wannabe so get your filthy labourers mits off our records. Facists.

That's what a VPN or torrent proxy is for. The money you save can be spent on fuel for the bike. Now that's smart thinking.

Real Groovy is a regular call for us whenever we go to Kangnam Station for dinner. It would be a real shame if it were to close down, but it seems to be popular enough.

is that one of those korean joints? I've been to a few (don't know their names) and they're usually a good feed....

The money saved = a cd up the road at groovy.
