I have downloaded (then bought) Devs last four releases and every time i wish id waited, the experience is so much better having the real thing drop through the mailbox. Anyway im such a WEAK person when it comes to music! I remember i never heard ANY of Physicist and it got delayed in the post, when it eventually arrived about 6 weeks after the release i did a shit the size of a walrus when i heard it!

The box set was said to have a DVD right? I know the answer is somewhere around this board, but there's a lot of info being fired off, can't keep everything straight

I downloaded Ki, I appreciate what Devina is doing with that album but the music is really not for me.

So i'm gonna skip buying all these albums till the box set is released, then i'll buy that. So Devina better make sure that box set gets released!

... Otherwise i'll feel guilty for stealing all his music

"Devina?" I don't know where that came from, but I laughed when I read it

Wouldn't that be the feminine version of 'Devin,' then? Well, behind every strong man is a strong woman... or however that goes. *groan* eww feminism ...

In my point of view, guys who get their music illegally downloaded should be happy. Just like billions of other aspiring, beginning artists, my music ain't bought in stores, downloaded illegally or even legally So... just be happy you're well-known, Tev, and all you other well known artists.
Nothing's more frustrating than trying to create something knowing the finished work will end up in your own closet and no one besides you will ever know about it. Art is to be shared!

This is all well and good when you're not making music for a living. When you actually need to make a profit from your CD in order to pay the bills, then the joy of knowing that people are listening to your music doesn't quite cut it.
That said, the relationship between downloads and lost sales isn't as close as some people in the music industry would have you believe, something which is demonstrated on this forum. (I'm pretty sure the majority of people here that downloaded did so because they wanted to hear the album and couldn't wait, rather than because they didn't want to pay)

If you want to have a steady paycheck, don't be an independant musician. If you are relying on CD profits to pay the bills, you got some problems.

Stop that!

Isn't Dev doing a little bit of carpentry on the side?

I'd buy a Devy coffee table.

Or tea table I guess.

Studio furniture?

I thought you had your producer thing going on.

Seriously, if I can find something to supplement my income in this day and age, I'd do it and continue doing music as well...then I wouldn't have to worry about interviews, labels, and management etc.

Yeah, furniture made out of driftwood. (with super tech drawers)

Or flipping burgers? ...I'm qualified!

What happened to the art school idea? (that was ages ago, I think?!) I know you are pretty good at your doodles! Maybe you could create a comic. I'm sure people would pay monies for that.

I find it uncommon that creative people are only interested in creating via one medium, and your financial viewpoint should be no different if possible.

Anyway, I would buy driftwood furniture!

Yeah I'd pee my pants walking into "Devin Townsend, Rustic Seaside Furniture and Carpentry Arts" Buy every stick of it too...that I could afford...probably like a chair leg. Then ask for a job application.

You could try security-easiest job in the world. I mostly watch movies and listen to/write music. I even bring a guitar to work.--Which reminds me-if you ever need a bodyguard, I'm your man. ;D
