I noticed that more than one band made comments about 'for those who still listen to CDs...' or something of that ilk from the stage, which I don't remember before, which suggests that they are getting more people saying 'but I don't have a CD player' to them.  Joe Broughton gave a good rundown of how streaming income compared to the purchase of one CD which although not news to me, seemed to be to a number of people around ("To give us the same income as the purchase of one CD you'd have to listen to our CD all day every day for 10 years on Spotify.  I've heard our CDs and trust me, you don't want to do that!").


CDs remain the most popular physical format of music (and for good reason).  The death of CDs is a fiction.

Many, many moons ago a boy I fancied asked if I wanted to go to his room to “listen to the Doobies”. Thinking this was a euphemism I readily agreed!

It wasn’t  Sad  and I’ve successfully avoided them ever since, despite being a big Michael McDonald fan.

Until now! I love a Best of… compilation and this one “The Very Best of The Doobies” off iTunes is superb. What a great range they had: yacht rock -> pop -> Motown -> funk -> ballads - it’s all here.

Perfect for a sunny Sunday in the garden  Cool


I have that same compilation, but must admit that I am generally much more of a fan of the pre- and post-Michael McDonald era tracks, when they seemed to rock more.

None of you have any US friends when you were younger?  9 times out of 10, shortened to a 'doob' but ubiquitous in my Uni circles (mid 80s), at least...

Only relatively recently i discovered that a 'doobie'  is another word for what us youngsters back in the day called a 'joint'.  Before 'spliff' became fashionable.
I only learned this about 2 years ago!


Pleased i'm not alone!   😄😁😆

Interestingly last night Lindisfarne had no CDs for sale, only uninspiring t-shirts. At least it meant I saved some money.

I bought some soap and room fragrances from the handmade soap stall (?? & Rosie?) this was Friday and they’d already had a tremendous weekend, sold loads, so they were very happy. Mr B bought a fab green shirt from the stall next to the Oggies.

We had pizza, fish & chips and a curry from the main field, and toasties & coffee from the stall in field 1. Plus free cake on the last day as they were just about to close up. I believe there are no calories if it’s free…  Wink

No CDs as I’m trying to reduce clutter

Cds are NOT clutter. 🧐😇😂Sheens mobile cd player arrived today! Reembrace the 80’s!
I know, I know! I still buy a CD from most bands I see (the smaller ones who rely on selling CDs to supplement the meagre income from gigs) for some reason I didn’t even make it into the CD tent! 🤷🏼‍♀️
