Why buying records & CDs matters.

I have been a huge music fan ever since I can remember, and was raised in a family where music always played a major role. I started buying records and CDs when I was 11 years old and never stopped. I believe that any form of art should have a tangible incarnation (music needs a CD/record, movies/shows need a DVD/blu-ray disk) which is why this era of digital downloads is extremely troublesome to me. While digital downloads may be convenient, they render the work of art utterly cheap and disposable, thus: forgettable. My goal is to present music by interesting artists coming in rare, valuable, and hard to find physical formats, so that owning these products becomes even more meaningful.
