Elvis Costello has a clue
Just spotted [link|http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200409/s1208055.htm|this article] where Elvis Costello has written a little note above what apparently is becoming a standard FBI warning on all CDs. "This artist does not endorse the following warning. The FBI doesn't have his home phone number, and he hopes that they don't have yours." Lovely to see.
Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

And some publishers might be getting the idea on DVDs, too.
Put in a new DVD the other day of some pop group I like in concert. The usual you-can't-skip-this-copyright-announcement-screen appeared ... and stayed for all of TWO seconds! Most discs plaster it up for at least 5. Of course, just to sully the water, the same group is with EMI who put the Copy Controlled techno-chastity on their CDs...

Commercial music sucks
I'm all about the free netlabel stuff, the likes of which you can get at [link|http://www.legaltorrents.com|http://www.legaltorrents.com]
It's not to everyone's taste, but that would be their problem, not mine.
Unchain your brain, say I :)

This POV has come up before. ;-)
And I'm used to people insulting my tastes in music. Meerkat has some good stories. (I've still got all those little dressed-up stuffed animals, BTW.)

Quite the opposite, actually.
That is a quite thick part of my hide. My tastes in music are rich and varied. It just so happens that one of those tastes co-incides in part with what passes for profitable, popular music.
Some years ago, when I was reasonably green at the whole LAN party thing, my friends and I realized we hadn't really shared our musical tastes. Now there are some things I have that are a bit unusual. But I found I could annoy them all really well much with something so disappointingly mainstream as the Spice Girls. :-) It became a running gag.

Not a running gag, it *made* us gag :-)

And anyway...
...I'd only be able to insult your taste in music if you had any.
Ba-dum TISH.

Please never do that again
I remember hearing both of your voices back when everyone was putting up sound files of themselves. I'm now hearing that conversation in your voices. [shudder]

I'm fond of 3hive as a music source, too.
Yep, that'd be [link|http://3hive.com|http://3hive.com]. Some of it's lame, but there are some real gems (IMO) like Scottish band Looper.
