The king of tinnitus Pete Townshend is now asking iPod users to turn down their muzak when listening through earphones. That’s right, he’s getting all conscious on our asses again. Townshend claims that his hearing problems developed from listening through his headphones too loudly in the studio. Oh come on, Pete. It couldn’t have anything to do with how fucking loud The Who played on stage night after night as well? Next thing you know, you’ll be telling us you know how it feels to be a woman and looking at kiddie porn on the side…

After Sony’s hugle blunder by encrypting some of their CDs with malicious anti-piracy software, the mega huge company is going to settle the lawsuits brought against it. So what do you get if you were one of the folks who was burdened with their bullshit discs? I hope you’re excited:
“The proposed settlement would enable consumers who bought, received, or used a Sony CD loaded with XCP to exchange the disc for a replacement CD, an MP3 download of the same album, and either a cash payment of $7.50 and one free album download or three free album downloads. Consumers who have a CD containing MediaMax 5.0 will receive a free MP3 download of the same album and one additional free album download, while those with CDs containing MediaMax 3.0 software will receive a free MP3 download of that same album.”
$7.50?! Um, what universe are they living in? Even with a frickin’ free album download, they should at least give back full retail price. Oh well, I didn’t buy any of those crappy discs, so enjoy your rewards!
Use any of these classy lines/lyrics by Uncle Lou next time you want to spice up a dull conversation.
1. “You want to make love to the scene.”
2. “Gimme an issue, I’ll give you a tissue. You can wipe my ass with it.”
3. “Ooh ooh wee! Son of a B!”
4. “I said, ‘If I ever see Sharon again, I’m gonna punch her face in.'”
5. “I guess that I’m dumb ’cause I know I ain’t smart, but deep down inside I got a rock and roll heart.”
6. “A little sugar with my coffee, how’s your tea?”
7. “Disco…disco mystic. Disco…disco mystic.”
8. “I wanna be black. I wanna be like Malcolm X and cast a hex over President Kennedy’s tomb…and have a big prick, too.”
9. “So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese and talked of our lives and our dreams.”
10. “When they shoot you up with thorazine on crystal smoke you choke like a son of a gun.”
…this will probably do nicely.
(Actually, it’s more of a reason to hate Virgin Records…but what the hell.)
I guess we should’ve seen this coming when he requested that women stop throwing their panties onstage, that Tom Jones was going respectable…but who would’ve thought the end result was that he’d end up as a Knight of the British Empire?
As my wife said, “Well, they’re just giving those things out to anyone now, aren’t they?” Oh, come on now, dear, he DID sing “Sexbomb”; surely that must be worth something…!
