Damn you Radio (10/90)

You know, I hate people who say they like a band and then only listen to one of their songs. My aunt Mary does that with Social Distortion. She says Social D is her favorite band in the whole wide world, but only because of Ball and Chain. I'm not even sure she knows a title of one of their albums. I don't mean to get all pissy but it just bothers me how people can listen to just one song over and over again. It's like beating the same video game multiple times. Sure it's fun, but there's a point where you have to draw the line and move on. GAH!

Here's another thing that bothers me. itunes. Not the program itself (I actually approve itunes over most other music players), but itunes store. The itunes store gives you the option of downloading only one song on the album. I know this saves you avid radio listeners a lot of money, but the thing that sucks about that is that the bands who recorded that full length album really want you to pay for that full length album. Not just one song. Bands record full length albums because they want you to listen to ALL of their songs. You know, most times (if the album is good), the so called "single" isn't the best song on the album. But whatever, right? You just want to listen to whatever's on the radio on your ipod. It's you radio enthusiasts who are making bands lose their money. Do you ever wonder why bands don't tour as often? It's because they aren't making the money to support their tours. (Can this also be the reason why concerts are overpriced? Nah, it's gotta be the illegal downloading.)
