We couldn't get hotpot... the place was being renovated. We got Korean BBQ instead.
Interesting sidenote, the RIAA are "protecting" In Rainbows from being illegally downloaded. I didn't write about this one because it's already been covered, so here's the link: http://torrentfreak.com/riaa-protects-radioheads-in-rainbows-100801/
It pisses me off to no end that the record industry at large feels the need to dig in their heels and become bigger bastards than ever in the light of a changing world. Radiohead, with others, have proven that the current model of music distribution is an outdated and money-grubbing system, and this obviously scares them. It must be hard to be told you're obsolete.
Here's the deal; Stop paying for music. Grab it off your friends, download it illegally, whatever. But if you really like the band, donate a bit of money to them, pay for a ticket to see them live, buy some of their merch. Sidestep the brick and mortar money traps of the 60-something year old suit and tie bastards who are more about a quick buck than good music. In doing so, you will literally melt the faces of Pink and Nickelback. OK, not really, but you will stop shit like that existing.
Keep music evil and all that crap; do Thom Yorke a favour and download all your music illegally.
P.S. There aren't going to be two posts a week now, I thought I would be inundated with assignments all of Tuesday so I updated Monday, then busted out the assignments in a few minutes. Meh, blame falling education standards.
