Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales

Posted by timothy on from the grouse-much dept.

jalefkowit writes: "Launch is reporting that Moby explains the recent slide in sales for his newest album, "18", by describing what he calls the 'Pearl Jam Effect': bands and artists with more tech-savvy fans sell fewer albums than those with less tech-savvy fans, as the techies will disproportionately get their copies of the album from friends with CD burners or P2P services rather than from record stores. What do you think, are we putting our favorite bands in a bind?"

    MOBY IS BALD and HIS BALDNESS REFLECTS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SCALP HIM FOR BUYING HIS SHITTY MUSIC.

    I think Moby's music is crap that only get's played in european homosexual day clubs.

    I laugh at Moby and his silly dance moves. I unclog my nose in front of Moby. I fart in Moby's general direction.
