An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

C'mon Urban, hurry up.

Oh well, I have my own.

79 : BIGOTED IDIOTS ON YOUTUBE.

I can't even enjoy some f*cking bandura music without having to sturable onto this kind of offensive bullsh*t.
 
I own both Libertines albums and both Babysharables (CD-R format)albums and I had no idea who Pete Doherty was. I heard his name mentioned by the British press but I didn't make any connection until recently.
 
Bingo. The haters are children dropping balls in their wake. If Seven Mary Three, Live, and the Toadies were innundating your radio, you'd get erect for RATM too. Their first album can drive me a bit crazy becuase since they've emerged (and I fully recognize this has a lot to do with where I live) people have to protest every god damned things on the street now from Colurabus Day to Scientologists anti-healthcare displays.

If they should be tried for anything it ought to be that too many people now beleive they have "the truth."
 
I defy anyone to come up with a list of 10 Canadian banRAB I like NOT including any indie banRAB from the past 5 - 10 years.

I'll even start you off

Neil Young (And even then I don't like THAT much)

9 : Special Editions Of Albums That Are Released Just A Few Months After the Original Album
​

The picture you see above is my own personal copy of Echo & the Bunnymen's Evergreen album. You'll notice if you read the top sticker that the album came with a bonus disc featuring every John Peel session they ever recorded. I should also point out this version came out just a few months after Evergreen was released and it cost exactly the same price as the original album.

Now I don't know about you but had I rushed out and bought the album when it came out ( Like most diehard fans would do) and then walked into a record shop a couple of months later I would have been mightily pissed off at seeing this. Thankfully I hadn't got chance to buy the album before this came out so I was lucky. As it happens the Peel Sessions disc is better than the actual album itself but thats besides the point.

Or course i'm not including all special editions of albums in this , only ones like the above that come out a few months later with a live disc or a remix disc or whatever. I have no problems if they're released simultaneously. Take AC/DC for example. When they released their 1991 'Live' album you had the option of buying a single disc version of the album or a double disc version of the album for a little extra. Had I heard the album before I bought it I wish I could have gone for the zero discs option, but never mind.

I should also like to single out The Who (again). For a band I love they seem to be cropping up in this list rather a lot. As everybody knows the original version of Live at LeeRAB only had about 5 or 6 songs on it. For the 25th anniversary they released an extended version of the album with about 11 or 12 songs on it. Now I didn't buy it when it came out but a couple of years after so you could imagine my annoyance when I discovered that for the 30th anniversary of the album they'd re-released it again , this time with the WHOLE show. Which makes you wonder why they couldn't do that 5 years earlier in the first place.

And while i'm on the subject of record companies ripping off people i'd like to deliver a big fuck you to the major labels for the practice of releasing one or two *Bonus Songs* on new albums exclusively for the British market so they could justify charging about

105 - "...You really need to get high to appreciate this album"​

Fuck off

Just Fuck off

If I need to take drugs to appreciate your album fully then clearly you have only done half the job. The music alone should take me on a journey , I shouldn't need chemical stimulants to do that job , I just paid however much your fucking CD is for you to do that , so YOU fucking do it.

Most music i've heard while i've been high sounRAB like shit anyway.
