In ancient times, when we were embarrassed by a CD that we bought when our taste was not yet fully developed, we could sell it and enjoy being wiser and richer (waiting for God to end our life before we have a chance to become wiser with an even more perfect taste than him).
Is there a market for used MP3s? Could iTunes and Amazon let us sell MP3s on their platform and get a commission? It would be profitable if people buy twice more when they know they can resell.

Mike Oldfield’s last album, Music of the Spheres, is #1 at Amazon.com in the following categories:
- New Age
- Classical
- Progressive Electronic
New age, classical, progressive at the same time, well, ok, but electronic? The microphones are electronic but the instruments are 100% all natural organic.

A photo from Nine Inch Nails (that’s 12 stacked MacBook Air) Ghosts album reminds me of one I took a while ago. I tried to make my lamp pole look like a gentle mechanical bird trying to escape Earth, theirs is more like a slick terminator, more beautiful too…
