man, brian sent me their single off the new yellowcard album. that led to me downloading some of their album.

and that led to me buying the album today. i LOVE yellowcard. they're a little bit whiny (i mean, they're emorock, what do you expect), but i like it nonetheless.

now i just realized why i hate big record labels. starting a few years ago (the earlier i can remember is backstreet boy's "millennium"), record albums decided it'd be a good idea to make music CDs "interactive." i mean, what a plan to CURB P2P sharing!

roy: "hey, i'll buy the album so i can support yellowcard!"
roy goes home.
roy plugs in CD into comptuer so he can listen to it while studying/working.
STUPID INTERACTIVE SCEEN COMES UP.
IN FRUSTRATION ROY REALIZES YOU CAN'T LOAD THE DAMN CD INTO WINAMP. arrrggghhhhhhh
roy goes and downloads the whole album in mp3 format...

look, mr. big label man. i don't want to watch no stupid music video... i just wanna put the CD in the CD-ROM drive and listen to the CD in winamp.

thank you.
