Songs are worth $1.29. Please buy recorded music.

I drink a lot of coffee most days. Occasionally a handmade latte from a coffee shop. Lately $6+ for a tasty and satisfying coffee. You get the nice coffee buzz and dig in. And then, it’s gone.

But that song I bought for .99 or $1.29 the other day, that’s still giving me joy. Same with the digital albums. They give me joy day after day, week after week, year after year. A song to play for life for $1.29 vs. $6 for a coffee?

I get it. Napster. And now Spotify and others have convinced many that music fans don’t actually buy recorded music from their favorite artists who produce and record it. No, instead, music fans send $9.99 a month to Spotify and that covers everything.

Insane, but true. Please consider buying recorded music. ✌🏼
