Death of Art 6 - The Return

“To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.”

Yup, another music blog. It's because I play, sorry guys! Facebook people, I have a blog you know... I'll link it at the bottom, but I kinda wanna only update on the blog, not on the facebook notes... Post a comment if you want it one way or the other. Like if you want to be blog exclusive. (And I will have blog exclusive posts just FYI) Onto the main thing.

One-hit wonders. Don't understand it, don't like it, eh it's not that great. This is another reason I kinda don't like itunes. I usually buy a whole album. Why? Because even if I only want one song, I'll listen to the rest. And you never know! If I had only bought "Angel Tangled in the Telephone Line" by Amy Kuney, I'd never have seen "Rocket Surgery," "Love is Trippy," or "Simple Things" on the SAME album! And all of those are great songs! As well as the poetic "Bird's Eye View Intro," which is amazing! (New fav... besides Meg & Dia, Blue Man Group, and Daft Punk. She's a different Genre, so these artist all represent favorites in different genres/sub genres. Duh ;P) Now, I know that people are like "ButI don't like ALL the songs." So what? When you buy physical cds, you can't pick one or two songs to get. Sure you can only download certain songs, but you still have the others right there. I personally think Mix CDs are the start of "one hit wonders" because people would put their favorite, so their friends only had one song. Hence One hit. I can see getting only a single, because, hey, it's only one song to begin with! But really, how many physical cds have only one song? Singles started for radio play. I think... 'Cause you don't hear a whole album on the radio! So an artist would pick their "best" song off the album and send it to the radio stations. Since they normally play what's popular, if it's requested often, they'll play it. It's not that hard to understand... But I still think it's worth it to get a whole cd. (Yes, I'm kinda hypocritical. Recently I've been getting only one song. I don't have the money to get the whole cd now =/ maybe after I work a couple weeks... and the stupid price raise made me go over 100 $ because they raised most of the songs I had to the new $1.29 price >.< Darn it!)


And I'm gonna put this out there, I honestly don't mind "album only songs." If I don't like the rest of the album, I listen to it on youtube. It's not that bad, to tell the truth. What pisses me off is the sudden "album only" status of MOST of the songs in my shopping cart on itunes! Like I bought most/all of the album, but the one song I REALLY wanted turns AO, so I have to delete and re buy the album! Bull Apple!! Not cool!
