How to Annoy Me: I’m annoyed at YouTube and Warner Music Group for stripping “unlicensed music” out of videos. I don’t listen to the radio because there are always commercials on when I’m in the car and I don’t watch MTV because God forbid they ever play music. So when I go through the iTunes or Amazon MP3 charts, sometimes 30 second previews are not enough for me. Users uploading videos to YouTube with music gives me a chance to preview the entire song before I buy it. Thanks a lot music industry for screwing over the consumer again. Artists deserve to be compensated for their work, but you don’t need to screw the consumer in the process. The music industry just doesn’t get it.

Quote of the Day: “Modern music is people who can’t think signing artists who can’t write songs to make records for people who can’t hear.” – Frank Zappa
