Right, I'd much rather have Netflix than bowdlerizing Blockbuster.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

For the industry, having the artists turning more of a profit than the suits just makes sense.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's probably a joke to be made involving some Costello lyrics, but I'm too busy to think of one....

Anyone else downloaded the new Radiohead? I'm... underwhelmed.

Artist Steve McLaughlin compiled all the Beatles albums and compressed them to 1 hour. The end result takes you on a trip thats far surpasses the hallucigenity of the gay strawberry fields. Even better, one person recompressed several tracks...
eta: The compression was 800%, timewise....
Awesome. The compression is of the type that doesn't have a shift in pitch. Listening to one of the uncompressed tracks was fascinating, as you can hear what was lost when the thing was originally compres

I'm going to see the Fiery Furnaces tonight in Madison with my sister. I totally forgot to look for their new album so I could hear it before the show. So I grabbed it from the iTunes store this morning and am listening to it now.
So far it's... what you might expect from a new Fiery Furnaces album.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That's what I gleaned from the Pitchfork review. I'll probably pick it up, but my expectations aren't that high.
