I might add that I'm quite happy to pay for digital music as long as it's within reasonable finantial bounds. One of the main reasons I quit DJing was that it was simply costing me too much to purchace new vinyl, not to mention finding the records I was after. It used to pain me to have to spend AU$20 for one record for which I only wanted one remix. Getting paid in beer didn't help much either. Whilst I was doing it for the thrill I started to realise that this just wasn't going to work out on my budget.

Now however, it seems that even the smaller record labels are starting to wake up to the idea of digital distribution. The prospect of downloading a track from a web site for a buck or two has seriously got me thinking about buying Live and getting back into it once the industry has grown a bit. Brisbane is slowly becoming more techno orientated too, so maybe I'll get paid in spirits some day!
