Corporate manufactured disposable music.
No wonder no one wants to pay 16 bucks for a cd.
I hear thats why the big music corporations don't like selling albums online in mp3 format. Most of the shit albums that come out nowadays have one... MAYBE two good tracks, and then 15 shit tracks. Online you can just spend two bucks and get only the two decent songs. Their whole bullshit manufactured music scheme isn't profitable that way. _________________ "I love and treasure individuals as I meet them; I loathe and despise the groups they identify with and belong to" -George Carlin

Before the bailout, how did the government blatantly favor certain companies? I mean, aside from the military-industrial complex. I think the corporate level is where you'll find more heinous examples of ameritocratic practices. _________________ Those who don't believe in evolution haven't benefited from it.

It is a human right to profit from the stupidity and arrogance of others.
