I’ve made two in the course of …4 years? “Stainless Steel Providers” by the Revolting Cocks (of course) and the Se�or Coconut cover of “Smoke on the Water”.

They scratched the itch, but every time I see a “this song has been approved for Xth machine, you have X more machines to which it may be licensed” notice from them, I get angry.

DRM is the devil.

having recently gotten an iPhone I have been forced into the world of iTunes. I have not made any purchases yet but I’ll assume it’s only a matter of time.

I like iTunes. It sh*ts me off sometimes (it has the video for a song and doesn’t have the frekin song itself? How does that work?!), but overall I think it’s good. It need more singles though.

AND, I’ve never bought any of those tracks listed. *proud* The state of pop music as in general makes me want to vomit…

I suppose folks who take the time to know good music may also take the time to figure out how to get it without resorting to iTunes.

yeah. yeah.

at least Florida State won a National Title with their Heisman winner.

even a devout FSU fan/UF hater such as myself will admit he deserved it.

I said in the post it isn’t surprising…just disappointing.

What does it have to do particularly with iTunes?

ummmm maybe that this particular list comes from iTunes.

I have not seen lists from the other sources you list. I suspect that they would be similarly disappointing….but since I do not actively seek out these lists unless stereogum (or another blog I read) posts them I will manage to avoid them.

Should this be surprising? Those are chart-topping songs. I think you’d find a similar spread on Amazon.com sales, Best Buy CD sales, Billboard charts. What does it have to do particularly with iTunes?
