Fuck Apple

Posted about 5 years ago
Umm... I thik anyone who has had an i-pod for more than a year schould already agree with me. For the rest of you, your uppins will come. Apple has the whole music industry in a facist regime ready to control the market in music. There are forcing bands to be come digital whores because the cost to bring the physical copy of media is more exspencive than the internet. I applaude the internet with all its fancy doo-dads and thingamagiggers. But the one thing that is pressuring the music industry more than rocketing gas prices (touring), is the most precious gift that we have ever received from Al Gore other than being the really lame roomate of a fun party animal, the internet. Kudos to all the bands that are using the internet to get signed but you have to draw a line. PAY HOMAGE TO THE DAYS OF ALBUMS AND RECORDS!!! AN ALBUM IS MORE THAN THE MUSIC, IT INCLUDES THE VISION BEHIND IT AND THE PACKAGE IT COMES FROM!!! THIS FADES IN THE DIGITAL REALM!!!So who wants to beam me songs on my Zune?

    mickimicki says ..... yeah go ahead.... buy copy-protected WMAs till your ears smoke... dude you GOTTA be sittin in front of a PC so you don't know whatcha talkin 'bout.... Btw next to my Apples I I got about 3,5 meters of album shelves.... you know LP's? Dunno what Apple had to do with the introduction of the CD which made music digital about 25 yrs ago... but then what do I know, probably Steve Jobs himself already brainwashed me into thinking it was the likes of Sony who went all crazy about how cheap and easy to store ugly silver discs were, compared to a proper vinyl album? ...not preachin' to my choir dude, I think you're barking up the wrong (apple) tree... have fun with your Zune...

    NinjaSquirrel says First of all I dont belive in buying music over the internet. Unless it is a physical cd being sent to my house. All of my music as been in my hands at one point or another. I have felt the glossy sheen of the jewel case and even smelled the fine ink printed in the insert. Im not dissing apple, im indirectally dissing iTunes. Im dissing our nation of "kids" that take for granted all the hard work sacrifice and talent that braught these people this far. Dont even bring up the fact that U2's latest release has none of the predetemined criteria aformentioned. I wasnt dissing the history or evolution of the media outlets that have been bestowed on us for our likings weather we like it or not. What I was tring to convey is the point that music isnt just singles shoved down our throughts at $.99 a slice. Songs are apart of an album mixed together for the continuity of the play. Unless all you listen to is hit factory single producing bullshit radio garbage. Invest in a XM radio instead of a Mp3 player. You will get alot more use out of it. Whoever invented the fucking cd should be commended. But the DIGITAL MUSIC REALM has lost touch with what it means to have an ALBUM. The Zune comment at the end of the post was to be considered a JOKE. for someone who is so enlightened as yourself to history and cronological order of who sucked who off first I almost gave you credit to understand that. But then again you missed the entire point of my post and practically said nothing to refute what I have originally posted.

    mickimicki says Hey.... so you don't have a Zune... great. I didn't get the joke. I'm a foreigner... forgive me. Still... I think you're mixing lots of things up. I clearly remember my musical youth without internet, even without CDs. Music, then, for the average kid on _my_ block (Germany, urban) came from Cassettes. The purchase of an album was something you did a few times _a year_, unless you had lots of money. The rest came in slices that weren't 99 Cent, but about 2 or 3 US$ per 7'' single. And mostly, your cassettes consisted of what you managed to record off the radio. Oh, yeah, also taped albums, but well, iTunes sells albums, too. (Or people just copy their friends' CDs and scan the artwork. Which is more than you could do when you just taped them.) The way some (or even most) people treat music as a commodity, possibly without much distinction or respect for the artist's "blood sweat & tears" wasn't brought on by the digital age. There were _always_ "album people" who cared a little bit more, and there were always people who turned on the radio and went out and bought the single of the month. Have you forgotten all these silly "Best of pop"-style compilations advertised on TV? K-Tel? There were people who bought them, and what else did they buy than ready-sliced selections with no depth or character whatsoever. The internet may have enforced that tendency. But to "music lovers", it has also given a whole new world. You couldn't well deny that, being a blogger, could you? (Mind... this is a rhetorical question. I don't trust myself to write unoffensive with my Kraut insensitivity and language'n all, so please accept this disclaimer: no offense!)

    NinjaSquirrel says Sorry all is mended. I do own a Zune but I dont use that fucking lame ass Zune Marketplace. All of my music is baught from a store then recorded through the program Musicmatch Jukebox Plus, (the best music managing program on the planet as far as im conserned) then imported to the zune database to which it syncs to. all of my music is independent from the zune software so I am able to do what I will with all of my tracks. The joke was that I was just riffing and raffing about singles being shoved down our throughts, when I asked for exactally what I was protesting.
