No, I don't use any music streaming services. I only use my computer with Bluetooth speakers. Or a radio station from Moncton, New Brunswick, because they have a good selection that suits my tastes and “almost no commercials.” But generally speaking, when it comes to my local music, I have over 38,000 MP3s or FLAC files on my computer.
I don’t want to seem Inconvenient but, if you’re not familiar with Bandcamp, let me just tell you that it’s not exactly a streaming service. It’s more like a shop where artists sell their music directly too their public, allowing them to listen to it before. Artists are paid properly and there’s no publicity or user data theft!
Thank you but it has nothing to do with advertisements or anything else. I'm just not interested in anything online except chatting here. The smartphone, I don't like, I only use it to talk, I don't respond to the text on for the doctor's appointments. Do you understand what I want to explain?
I encourage local artists, I pay to see comedy shows but "online" I simply have no interest in it online.
Yes, I do understand that and I totally support it! That’s what I think everybody should do. In my case, since Portugal is a different reality (your “local” will probably be like my “national”), Bandcamp has allowed me to buy Portuguese artists’ records and support their work.
Yes, absolutely, my local is actually the entire province of Quebec, the equivalent of your national. Here in Quebec, we are surrounded by English provinces only so our culture, our language is protected so that it does not get swallowed up.
Yes, I know that. When I was at school I thought that French and English coexisted in Canada. But when I got to University I had a classmate who had lived in Canada for several years and he taught me that. I have family there, but there’s no contact with them. I don’t even know where they live! 😞
Do you still have record shops near you? Here, the nearest is 70 kms away! There are, actually, two at the same distance in different cities! It’s so sad! Let me ask you something. I’ve studied French at school and I like it a lot although I’ve lost my capacity of speaking it fluently. Since you live in Quebec, do artists there keep on producing good music in French or have they also started to sing almost only in English?
Record stores are very rare, I know there is a musical instrument shop with some long game on sale but otherwise, it must be online purchases... As for Quebec artists, they are Quebecers to the tips of their tongues. 😉 Most of them only sing in French, there are a few artists who make an English album for the trill but remain French Quebec artists. There are of course some exceptions of English rock bands such as Simple Plan who have an international career.
Si jamais vous désirez pratiquer votre français doucement, Lancez vous! 😉
Merci beaucoup! Avec l’aide du clavier français je pense que je suis capable de me faire comprendre. Mon principal problème c’est bien écrire, parce que la langue française et la portugaise son similaires. Mais le clavier est une bonne aide. (J’ai tu pensé et écrit en français. Je n’ai pas usé le traducteur! C’est pas mal, je pense!)
Hihihi, j'aime Cyrano mais sans Le Depardieu. 😉 Les Schtroumpfs, c'est naturellement en la langue française, toujours meilleures l'adaptation originale. Bonne journée Joao! Je dois aller aux tâches.. 👋
