bastards abound
so, i still haven't been able to play this Jet cd. i disabled autoplay, thinking i could work around it and play it manually...no go. at this point it's not even about the music. i could give a fuck what's on the cd. i'm just pissed off that it's being such a shameless bastard. fuck computers! i'm going back to tape decks and carbon copies.
speaking of bastards, i was talking to my brother and he was telling me about how the beastie boys have a new album that has a virus on it to track your movements with their cd. maybe this is old news to people, but i googled it and it's true. it's illegal in the US and the UK, but in other parts of the world it's allowed. i found an article at: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/23/beastie_boy_cd_virus/. it's really lame. i have a few things to say:
1. who the fuck's going to buy the beastie boys anyway? they haven't been cool since 1984. the last good song they did was that intergalactic song, which i liked because i could do the robot to it. aside from that song, on that album, who cares? i must confess i've never been a beastie boy fan. they always seemed so corny to me.
2. once i buy something, it's mine. i don't think anyone has any rights to it. it's sort of like buying a puppy for someone, but you keep it at your house. it's just lame. if i buy a cd and i want to make 1000 copies of it and give it away, i can. i'm not going into business off of pirated music. i'm sharing the wealth. maybe my morality is flexible, but i think if i put down the money for the cd, then it's mine to do as i please.
3. you can't gear a society to become dependant upon computers and then make things inaccessible to their computers. it's like making highways, building gas stations, and creating speed limits, but making driving illegal. it makes no sense. so, here we are, forced to become computer savvy and everything...essentially groomed to have our lives revolve around our computers... and i can't download my cd on my computer to pick and choose what i listen to and make playlists at my leisure. balls.
maybe i'm just being the mad rapper, but really, beastie boys, "who the fuck is you?"
i wonder if the beastie boys think they're still cool. just because VH1 asks you to do a panel show on hip-hop during Feb doesn't mean you're cool. they had young MC on their too. and? and what?
