[sdiy] Who buys all the stuff really?

[karl dalen]

I was reading some catalogs, and found:

Berhinger alone does:

40 stomp boxes.
43 guitar,bass amps.
25 mixing desks
over 45 various effect rack units
speakers, michrophones, and only the supreeme beeing knows waht else!!

Is there realy a market for all this?? 

I just realized that during this last 6 months 7 record shops 
have closed its doors around here, all in a radious of 50km 
where i am located!

In europe alone the sales of cd-records has dropped 45% the last 
9 months so that means that everyone are doing their own recordings
and start small recording companies, wich would mean that we would
have  a musical diversity broader then ever, wich i simply cant hear!!

Its the same rap-crap, brittney-dinky-kinky-teen-exposure as usuall!

So whats going on here? Have i missed the train or is the trains 
depature constantly in all directions!
