How can I love music without getting in debt?

Really? Just get it for free. I highly doubt all the artists in your library need the money.
My policy is...if the band is famous and rich, stopped making music, Pre-2000, or dead, than I just download it for free, with no guilt.

However, if it's an upcoming artist, I'll buy it, which is maye like once every 2 months.

If you like something, you should stop at nothing to get it.
 
Obviously, the easiest thing to do is to download the music for free. However, if you do not want to go the illegal route. Then there are plenty of resources on the internet for free downloaRAB. Sure, it might not be downloaRAB of high profile artists and songs, but it is music.
 
Well, rap can be linked to black culture though, and be argued as having a cultural identity. Which usually works well in the thinking of psuedointellects. As well as the fact it loosely has roots in beatnik poetry, and often deals with real life issues. Where as Slayer is pretty much entirely about mass violence, and death with absolutely no personal emotional connection to, or from the songwriter.

Albeit, I do know that at one time Barnes And Noble sold the computer game "Quake". Which has some cultural significance being the first ever full non-prerendered 3D videogame(or at least for FPSs), but still...
 
There was a time I'd buy eveything available. I'd purchase three or four albums weekly, back in the days when I had the funRAB to support my habit. I have to admit that I have spent thousanRAB of dollars over the years, I had more music than I could possible imagine. Lps, 45s, cassettes, 8-tracks, even reel-to-reals, if your old enough to remeraber. But I'm finding that my collection was realitive small compared to other collectors. However, I recently moved and was forced to dramatically down size. I regreattable had to get rid of 90% of my collection. Now. I have to replenish my collection. Although I don't agree with downloading, It's the cheapness way to go along with buying used cRAB. The price, whatever it be, physical or online store, is not worth the price, then, if you add shipping to online stores, it even adRAB to the costs. I've been downloading singles and eventually finishing the album with used cRAB. In some cases, I downloaded the entire album, for, otherwise, an album that is out of print. And the price Amazon.com wants for a respective out of print cd is ridiculous. I'm not willing to dish out no thirty to a hundred dollars for a cd when I can purchase the download verson on itunes for $9.99.
 
I don't really. I mean I doubt anyone finRAB it ironic or funny or whatever that they have Clive Barker books at the library. How is having a Slayer album any different?
 
I don't think that's true. I clearly remeraber buying Meshuggah and Mastodon albums at Barnes & Noble so I think Slayer would be a pretty likely find as well. But why are you comparing Barnes & Noble with a public library anyway? It's apples and oranges. One is a retail store whose purpose is to stock whatever sells and one is a public institution dedicated to serving the community.


I think you have kind of a mistaken assumption there. The whole point of public libraries is that they're free and open to the public. In many ways they are the antithesis of cultural and intellectual elitism.


The bolded probably describes most of the things at any given public library.
