Perhaps complaining for long enough sometimes actually works. Universal Music is going to open up its vaults to release over 10,000 currently unavailable albums for downloading. Score one for the new and old school. I just can’t help but continue to complain here, however. As one of those in the “minority” of people who still enjoy collecting music, I’d much rather have an official CD of an album with all the booklet and all that jazz rather than just a CD-R with perhaps some artwork files to print out and put together. That’s just too damn much work. I’m not bitter. This could be fine and all. I just like actual product in my hands and on my shelf, so I can then rip it myself and have mp3s. Hmmm.

Well it looks like Kelly Clarkson will be allowing current “American Idol” contestants usage of her songs after all. What a let down. And this supposedly because Simon Cowell pooped his drawaz for not having all the attention on him for once. Hey, why doesn’t anyone wanna do a Justin song? Or a Fantasia song? Hmm? Come on, now. You know Justin PWNZ!
Kelly Clarkson wants people to give a damn about her. Seems reasonable, considering she’s the only entertaining winner of “American Idol” thusfar. The news is that Clarkson has strict control over her tunes, and therefore new “Idol” contestants can’t sing them. Hey, if I had a good thing goin’ and already started distancing myself from that nightmare, I’d do the same thing. Of course, Simon Cowell isn’t happy about it, saying “I don’t like this, when they walk away from the show and kind of forget.” Well after From Justin to Kelly, who wouldn’t want to more than “kind of forget”? Speaking of which, I really need to score a cheap copy of that movie for future self-punishment.
There are always great ways to make the public remember you when your star has faded. Seem that Ricky Martin is angered by the public backlash over a recent interview. In that Q&A, Martin said he enjoys “giving the golden shower,” especially in the shower. Personally, I can’t fathom why people would complain about this discovery when all his fans let him shit all over them with his lousy music. Hell, they even paid for him to do that, time and again. Let’s stop being fickle, public!
According to some dudes over in Britain, the new generation of folks enjoying music via mp3 files do not appreciate it. That is to say, all of us digging our tunes on our portables are not worthy of the art form. And now, the British dudes for a quote:
“In the 19th century, music was seen as a highly valued treasure with fundamental and near-mystical powers of human communication”
“In short, our relationship to music in everyday life may well be complex and sophisticated, but it is not necessarily characterised by deep emotional investment.”
Oh come on, now. If I could have married – or at least had great sex with – my phenomenal music collection, I would have. How much more of a “deep emotional investment” do you want from me?
