What is something that would surprise us about yourself (that has to do with film scores)?
One way I have of "drawing a bead" on a city I'm visiting is to go to their public library and check out their soundtrack collection.
(Boston, by the by, has a surprising number of releases on Varese...)

That I keep defending digital, even though I prefer CDs.
I do, genuinely, so much prefer to have CDs.
But I keep defending digital downloads because I guess I find some of the arguments against it a bit pointless. (Some.)
(a) I find the "what if your hard drive fails" argument a bit daft. It's a total non-argument when you stop looking at digital through the "one physical copy" understanding and look at the larger nature of the digital realm.
(b) It's really happening. Yes, really. You can fight reality if you want but personally I think fighting reality is a great big fast waste of time you could spend on something more productive.
(c) Everybody thinks they can hear the difference in quality between 320kbps and CD. Maybe those whose ears are finely attuned to music production can. I'll bet most people can't, though. (That said, I'd want download to get up to CD quality as standard if not better before it takes over.)
(d) I predict the day will come when the "CD forever, digital never" chant will be as faint as the "LP forever, CD never" chant of yesteryear is today. 'Cos we'll get used to it and grow to like it. We always do.
(e) It might actually enable more stuff to get released.
(f) It does have legitimate advantages. (He says, generally having to wait weeks rather than days for CDs to turn up, because he lives in England.)
There, I did it again. And I still prefer to buy my music on CD.
Please don't reply to this post, stay on topic of the original question.
Cheers
