But what if it's not about making money? What if it's art?
What if it was available digitally, how many people would actually buy it?
How much would the band actually earn? Enough to eat for a year, a month,
a week? How many people would end up just stealing it or listening on
Spotify for which Gerard gets 0.00000000001p each listen. It aint right.
Digitalising music has destroyed its commercial value and I applaud
Gerard for saying fuck that. If he's only going to get a pittance for a
digital version why bother. Vinyl makes it precious. To be treasured.
Yours. It sparks the imagination to wonder just how amazing the songs are.
It resurrects the thrill of the obscure album hunt. It might just keep a
record shop open for one more day.
Get your record players out and groove

Its hard to understand Gerard's marketing strategy,the vinyl edition
appears to great reviews and then silence no sign of a CD or download
version for those without turntables.Its almost a lets shoot ourselves
in the foot strategy.But then the Aeroplanes have always been
iunpredictable,I guess thats part of their charm.A sleeve note on HUH
The Best of Blue Aeroplanes 87-92 sums it up in describing their
career:"It was brilliant,it was fun so enormous it swallowed the
horizon until it became work".Enough said,Edward
