I think that's the fastest green I've ever had.

I have to agree though. I have always sai that these companies should have stopped trying to stop new technology. The only company to realistically and passionately embrace digital music is Apple and look how badly that turned out for them - streets ahead of anyone else.

meanwhile Trent Reznor (new window) is letting you download his new album almost free. he even got 2500 fans to shell out $300 for the super deluxe version. do the math. almost all of the money goes to him and probably the maintenance guy for his studio.

/fark studio techs
//mine increased his rate to $850/day
///i can has solder burns?

People will pay for music... people won't pay MUSIC COMPANIES for music, though. Way to go... the music industry is dead, long live the music industry.

Can we hear more about this 'Beatles' group? I've heard them mentioned a couple of times, and they sound interesting....

We can only hope that hip hop gets pulled down with it.

Wait a minute, this is a story on a list that was already posted yesterday... The top 20 biggest scrwewup..

Anyway, guitar groups are on the way out. Sousaphone's where it's at, man.

No way. Stylophone is the wave of the future.

Sousaphone? Shiat. I guess those hours I spent on the oboe were wasted.

Yah, this was a repeat, but I'd have to agree. The music execs really f'ed themselves.

The day of the keytar has come. You guys are gonna shiat when you hear my all keytar group.

Unnecessary repeat. Padding of green light stats. 10 yard penalty.

Do you guys do the Doggie Bounce (new window)?

I thought The Beatles were the music industry's biggest douches.

 
BaronVonAsshat 2008-03-13 03:47:04 PM  
Okay, so this was an article on Fark from Herald about an article on Blender previously linked to Fark from Blender?

He signed the Rolling Stones, what a douche.

Nonsense and tomfoolery! The saw is coming back in a big way. I can't wait for all of the high-pitched whining noises to pour out over the radio waves.

/now that I think about it, nothing new there
