I want a moped. Or a horse. Maybe a horse with wheels and ears? A Horped. I love the cover art for Bowie's new CD. It's twenty billion times more fun than Korn's boring old "Untouchables" artwork. Is Bowie's new CD any good? Worth a download, at least? Now now, don't fret. If I care enough about a band that I'd download tons of their songs, I'll end up buying the CD. The recording industry is going berserk for nothing. I don't know about the rest of you, but Mp3's are horrible things. Nine times out of ten, they sound tinny and aren't worth the steam of an ox's piss on a burned CD. I have a portable Mp3 player, and it's horrid. Songs are recorded at different volumes, so I find I'm constantly fiddling with the volume. Then again, CD players aren't much better with the skipping and the scratching and the hey-hey-hey. I still use my tape player. It's a good little sucker. I've smashed it about fifteen times and it still works wonderfully. It also ate Appetite for Destruction one grey December morn. Mama Mia. Mp3's are good for one thing: keeping you awake at four a.m. while you struggle with fucking Lingo. They'd also be boss for pissing off our landlord upstairs, but that's not possible with these damn Charlie Brown speakers. My little brother hooked huge stereo speakers into his computer and nearly blew his soundcard right to hell. It was a neat sound for the ten seconds it worked. It's too bad Metallica had to go and do a nasty thing like kill our wee Mp3 farms. I always meant to get into their music more, see. And I kept on putting off downloading their songs -- like I already mentioned, I would buy their CD's if their style suit me. For once, my slothlike speed was a blessing, as Metallica threw that nasty temper tantrum and nuked Napster for everyone unfortunate enough to have one of their songs on their HD. So I really lost any incentive to hand Metallica one of my hard-earned, Queen-stamped twenty dollar bills for Lars to wipe his ass with. I eventually did try a bunch of Metallica's songs when twenty more hydra heads sprung up in the place of Napster. And I think they're hideously overrated. Even "Enter Sandman" is sort of boring. So I came out on top for once in my life. Sure, Metallica has every right to protect their crumby songs, but I don't think sniping their fans was the way to do it. I'm very sorry for their troubles, since they seem to be among the 5 artists / bands that have some class of money paranoia and think Mp3's are evil. The other fifty billion contributors to the music industry will tell you that Mp3's mean bubkus. The only thing that really pisses off all artists are bootlegs of live shows. CD sales are nothing in the face of a successful tour. Oh yeah, I updated Mechadrake. "Auuuh, Milhouse, give him back his soul, I've got work tommorow!"
