OH, PEOPLE JUST STEAL MUSIC, THEY'RE SUCH BASTARDS, WOES!

[as Irish ISPs fold to the will of people with big lawyers... cunts...]

Well, I just went to buy M.I.A.'s "Kala", as it reminds me of my bird, and ooh, lookie...

£4.98 for the CD. £6.99 for the mp3s.

MAYBE IT SHOULD COST LESS TO BUY THE MP3s OF A FUCKING ALBUM THAN TO BUY THE FUCKING PHYSICAL PRODUCT.

A single example, I know, but this happens all the fucking time. So! Yet again, I'll steal the mp3s so I can listen now, and order the CD to support the artist.

Same goes for fucking ebooks, that tend to be 90% of the price of the paper version, despite there being no fucking physical product to sit on your bookshelf.

YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

fucking morons.

[edit]: In fact, fuck y'all, I'll just listen to it on Spotify.

it really got on my tits when I heard it played out on chav radio a bunch, then ynl thrust a few tracks at me a few times and I had to admit they were catchy if a bit juvenile / irritating... then kirsten mentioned her and I listened some more and realised "oh, some of those are tracks I'd been wishing I knew the name of for six months".

classic 'grows on you' shit, definitely.

some of the songs aren't always my favorite, but they ARE catchy and very fun to drive to. :P
