File sharing is reliable for those multi-platinum new releases we're all weaned upon, but as my musical tastes "advanced" to more dimly-lit corners of obscurity, it become ever harder to find that ONE album which would put everything into place. My know-how extended just barely to conversion of those inevitable, pesky FLAC files (perhaps why Neil Young's Pono never got me excited). My involvement in the torrent "community" was always skin-deep. Next time, better to save that not-so-disposable income for something more necessary, like gas money for that dead-end job, or cigarettes to fortify against the ennui.
Like the ineffectuality of a handout did my virtuous satisfaction give way to resentment and regret. Chalk it up to a moral failure of self-entitled consumerism, but that knowledge cast over actual purchase a certain masturbatory hue. Ever since, at nine or ten, I discovered the virtual equivalency between peer-to-peer sharing and, say, the standard iTunes download, it's felt almost dirty to me to spend ten dollars when it's just a few clicks away. Yes, because, as (I suspect) in much the same manner of most of my generation, I've never had much of a relationship to the physical album.

In another (whiter) corner of my musical spectrum, I was getting increasingly desperate to find Common One- I mean, come on Pirate Bay, do I really need to download ALL of Van Morrison's discography just to get this one album? Not many people have pulled it off quite like Hov to be an idol for so long and truly always represent, American Gangster or not. "The Takeover" and "Never Change": Jay-Z, forever both king and underdog, never really "selling out" because that's kind of the point democratic mogul whose fanbase shares in his glow of success by imbuing his hopes with their faith.
I'd had The Blueprint on repeat again for weeks, to start with. It really was just a coincidence a matter of being at the wrong place, wrong time. Perfect Sound Forever: Tidal- to stream or not to stream? TIDAL
