feedComplete My “Album”
You know, I'm sort of curious about something.
How many of y'all have chosen to "complete my album" in the iTunes Music store? (You know, I'm just annoying enough to almost always call it an "ablum," because I think that is funny for reasons I don't even remember anymore.)
I haven't done it, and I have a feeling it's because I sort of feel like the "album," per se, is kind of dead, and I wish artists would just finish a song and release it and I could buy it and listen. I'd be willing to pay a buck fifty or so for each song released that way. Or maybe they could release them with a b-side. I could go up to a buck ninety-nine that way. (Though I know I'm still being incredibly stupid by using the words "b-side" to describe a digital download.)
But an album? Can't an album be whatever you want it to be now? Why are we still loading about ten songs into what's called an "album" and then serving it like it makes sense to do it that way. Most of the time the songs have little or nothing to do with each other... (okay, there are a few exceptions ) but they are certainly far from the rule) and when they do have something to do with each other, I'm not likely to buy just a song here or there.
How would you like your music served? Do you even listen to music? Am I kidding myself? Do my readers only listen to Britney Spears? Who are you?
Say something.
And bless you.
