The crunch hits us at last. We've all been sitting pretty safe in the knowledge that we'll never have a mortgage, letting Tom Piotrowski's slightly lispy words of doom wash over us each night as we relax in front of the CommSec finance report.
But now it's real. The Metropolis music section is closing and part of the blame goes to US - the browsers who didn't buy enough metal.
Um, there's another release of Laneway tickets happening today at Jeromes (we hope they're not sold out yet). So you can...
a) continue to cling to the perhaps erroneous belief that Danny is going to give you a media pass
b) sit on Moshtix repeatedly clicking ‘buy tickets' on the sold out page, allowing a crazed look to mar your otherwise pretty visage, or
c) just freaking drop two pineapples on a ticket.
Buying is the new stealing. Forget any preconceptions that you had about file-sharing and embrace Mazar, the new site that seeks to aid up and coming artists in the digital era by bringing the best new music straight to your computer. It's easy. You find the artist, listen to the song (up to 3 times) then decide if you want to buy it using the Paypal system.
