And thusly I begin my 8th glorious posting! boy what a level of craptacularness this will reach my friends, all will be amazed, dogs will be scared, buckets will flee etc etc.
Yes so anywho i must say that im kinda dissapointed on the total lack of comments on this site (except for you Jenn, my one loyal fan, ha ha) But come on, i would have at least expected a few agry insulting comments from a bunch of Neo-Nazi's whos collective intelligence is slightly less than a rather dumb rock, after the last posting but nothing, noothing at alll. Ah well heres hoping that someone will start commenting on the site, cause id love to know why appearantly around 80ppl ahve looked at this site but only 2 people total have commented on my site. But hey 2ppl is better than nothing, (so dont eat me jenn, cause that wouldnt be cool at all, no meat on me).
So yes comments are good, buckets are easily scared and on to todays rant.
Now todays rant will not be about an issue thats actually importaint or anything like yesterdays but today i feel like ranting about the Music industry. Those of you who know me well, or have read this thing regularly will know that i listen to quite a bit of music. Now often if i listen to a group and feel that their music is good enough to support then i will go out and buy a cd by them, if not ill just listen to the one or two songs that i downloaded and be happy. I can see where the musicians are coming from when they say that people should pay for what they produce and thats only fair, but something about hocking out 25 bucks for 10 songs, 3/4 of which are probably crap doesnt really sit well with me. What gets my goat is the music industrys amazing way of dealing with this problem. Instead of yah know listening to what the public wants and say getting together with all the other record companys and creating one huge service where you can pay 80 cents or something for a mp3 and just download any song that you want. This way if you just like one song you pay for it, artists make money, you get your song and everyones happy. And even if not that well how bout dropping the cost of cds down to something thats actuall worth buying like 15 bucks or something. But what does the record industry do istead? they claim that record prices are more than fair, arbitrarily decide to tack a 50 buck surcharge onto everyones internet costs in canada, start suing people in the US and claim that they are listening to everything that the consumer wants. Well if they are listening to everything that the consumer is wanting then why are record sails dropping like a rock? hmm i dont know, maby because there all rich idiots who are afraid of change. But above all waht really really REally pisses me off is how hipocrytical Sony is. Their record producing branch is one of the most vocal in the fight against music piracy and yet the greater sony company happily sells mini-disc players whose sole purpose is for the use of mp3's and now theyre marketing out the ass this new cd player of theres whos claim to fame is that it now holds more mp3 files on a cd than ever. If thats not a load of bull then i dont know what is.
hmmm well not only am i out of what to say but nature calls (yes i know all of you wanted to hear that so i told you, HA what are you gonna do about it)
well i are done so i bid you all a very merry Monday and a happy New year or something....
