Turn It Up

Just pick a video. They are all unbelievable.

We all remember when Jay-Z released American Gangster and refused to let iTunes sell it as individual tracks. Guy Garvey from Elbow is jumping on the same train and is complaining about iTunes not letting him fix his album as a complete set.

While iTunes does have many flaws, the ability for consumers to pick and choose which tracks to buy is a great advantage. With the music industry struggling to get consumers to purchase music the idea of forcing them to buy an album when they only want the single is not wise.

I once read that Beck was going to release an album where consumers could pick the tracks they want off his website and a custom cd would be burned and shipped to them. Maybe he did this and I missed it but he did have the right idea with The Information album artwork. 

Music is mayhem.

This guys son was late to his tennis lesson so he decides to land his plane on a nearby golfcourse.

This guy is running for the Texas representative in the US Senate. His entire web site espouses Texas Independence as the solution for every problem that the state faces.

I voted for him without thinking twice.
