CDs are dead…

CDs are dead. Dead dead dead. No more CDs and…
ooh, courier at the door with box. Whatsis?

Oh, it’s the Plastikman CD box set. Bloody hell. You could use this to press some flowers that’s for sure. 11 discs? Jesus.

Better get on the phone.

Hello? Is that Germany? Speak English, this is music industry. Yes. Yes, fine thanks.
Now listen, about these CDs. Any CDs. Didn’t you get the memo? CDs are dead. Yes. Tot. No more discs. You have to stop making these large attractive physical objects. No I’m not… it’s not… look, I’m not in charge. You have to read some of the internet analysts to … analysts. An – al – list. Ja. Steve Jobs says that discs are over. Yes I know he retired but he’s still… …  … … I don’t think that’s physically possible. Even with a cassette.

Look I just thought I’d tell you that you’re doing something that the media says is dead and buried, you’re supposed to host this sort of thing online and try move it through the cloud. The cloud. Cloud. um Wolke? Yes, very funny. CDs, DVDs, Blu Rays are all finished and you’re supposed to not use them any more. Well I’m just saying. Same to you.

Well that was unpleasant. I don’t know what is with people that just refuse to move on when media analysts tell them. We all know that films are on YouTube and music is on iTunes and that’s it. What is this guy going to do next? Vinyl? Books? Lord above people don’t want physical objects!

Now where on earth am I going to put this thing?
