Very cool, if true

I very rarely buy music, because I very rarely listen to music. The last shiny disc I bought was a CD of a friend's Early Modern chamber music; it's very nice but I hardly listen to it because I Just Don't Do Music much. I think the previous CD I bought was the HPLHS Solstice carols, because they are funny.

I also very rarely buy DVDs of films/TV especially since we've signed up to LoveFilm. So much better to be able to send them back when I'm done (I rarely want to re-watch things).

I think physical shops selling such items are d00med. Mostly I think this is because I don't think a physical shop really adds any value over buying online (unlike with, say, a physical clothes store where you can try on the clothing, which is a lot better than ordering online and hoping it fits). I do think people will continue to spend money on entertainment, although I'm not sure how much people will shift to downloadable formats (which are obviously much more convenient once you have a highspeed connection than waiting for the post to show up).
