Artists have had enough

For some strange reason, artists seem to be rather upset that people are downloading their music for free. Hence the reason that more and more free and legal music services are popping up all over the place, like a hemorrhoid infestation.

Spotify is a well known one. But they shove annoying, repetitive adverts in between every other song making it impossible to listen to your music library without going insane.

Deezer is also pretty good. Their site is massively bloated, it takes about 5 minutes to load, and then it lags like hell. Most people set out to listen to Lady Gaga, but end up creating a 20 CM hole in their monitor out of pure frustration.

Jiwa started off good, until it was made apparent that their license only covered France. Anyone outside of France, was greeted with a friendly "get lost" page.

And they wonder why people still download? Ah well.

Metal head? Rock fan?

Are you a metal head? Are you a fan of a good Rock song? Well thumbs up to the people who have turned these otherwise crappy songs, into audible, adequate, songs!

Had enough of people with very little talent getting paid billions by corporate hypes to sit in front of a microphone and sprout crap? Well support these artists!

Bad Romance, also known as bad song. Check out this rocky/metal cover. This version is done by the emo group: 30 seconds to mars

Poke Her Face? I wish someone would. Check out this metal cover! Check out this rock cover! (not brilliant quality)

Support the artists who make better versions than the originals!

Apple products are good, because they are Apple products.

Why do people like Apple products? Well, the answer is in the question. People like them so much because they are Apple products. Somewhere, at some point, someone decided that the definition of "good" was "Apple product." It seems to have stuck. What's the result?

A bunch of no-brainer numb-nutted prats piling into their local Apple shops demanding iPhones. - - - Why?

- Because they are iPhones!

- What makes them so special?

- ..... ...... Them being iPhones!

It seems like people are completely oblivious to the fact that there are thousands of other phones which do exactly the same - if not a better - job than the iPhone, but don't get any of the credit because they haven't got the "must have" frame of mind hindrance hanging onto them like a turd refusing to drop into the toilet bowl.

Then, the iPad makes it's grand entrance in the world of must-have. For the 2 people who don't know what the iPad is, it's literally an over-sized iPod Touch costing 800 EUR. Now everyone must have one of them!

- Result: Millions of people buying pointless over-sized iPod Touches, with a laughable battery life and limitations you wouldn't have on a laptop costing the same amount.

And the i* reign continues.

Join Facebook.

10 Reasons to join Facebook if you are one of the 20 people who don't have it.

- Keep in touch with friends who aren't really friends but need to be called friends because they're in your "friend list"

- Keep and eye on your not friends' status' to make sure you don't miss out on any valuable and essential information, like: "OWNED. I GOT 12 - 9 KILL RATIO ON COD4."

- Become obsessed with it and enjoy a physical and mental magnetic-like attraction to your Facebook page, not wanting to miss out on anything your not-so-friends are doing.

- Join mindless, time consuming, pathetic, pointless spazzy games like FarmVille which give you no revenue to justify the wasting of your life.

- Get unwanted and undeserved gossip from your not-so-friends which you can grin over all evening and reply with witty and unwanted comments.

- Enjoy painful conversations with 5 year old brats who think they know better than everyone else and believe they have the god given right to post/say/comment in whatever manor they choose.

- Post all of your details enabling all sorts of ominous characters to know exactly where you live, what you do and when you do it.

Prepare to waste your life. It's sure as hell worth it, because it's Facebook! Everyone has it, so why shouldn't you?
