Misery Wednesday

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A couple of weeks ago we did a thread on what's exciting you about music at the moment.

Here's its inverse: what's annoying you about music at the moment, and why? I'm tempted to ban discussion of Kate Nash upfront - anyway I'm not really after specific acts, more the trends and ideas that make those acts' popularities a bad thing.

And - what do you think could be done about it (if anything)?

(Orgafun update: the missing Pop Open player has been located and a track is hopefully on its way)

Or putting the same Rolling Stones song on two or three different (nonhits) Rolling Stones albums (which probably happened more in the U.S.). Actually, Aly & AJ did this with "Chemicals React" though the version on Insomniatic is a remix and sounds somewhat better, and it only had previously been on the "Deluxe" rerelease of Into The Rush.

Actually, that's a general complaint, New Deluxe Editions that come out six months after the original album with two new songs on it.

And in the mode of Aly & A.J.-related complaints, what about the fact that they released different versions of Insomniatic to different stores, and "Blush" wasn't on the version available for legal downloading.

I mean, it's almost as if the record companies want us not to feel guilty about unauthorized downloading.
