Q: What is Alf Eaton using iTunes for?

A: to buy singles that bands aren't releasing on CD.

Amazing -- bands are already doing commercial releases where they don't even bother with a CD. When a market collapses it happens fast.

I remember the moment when CDs did that to their own predecessor. I had to buy Sonic Youth's "Goo" on CD because it was not available on vinyl, and since I didn't even own a CD player yet I had to go out and buy one to be able to play the CD.

your clever screen name is not clever

I don't know who Mr. w00tie is, or whatever screen name you are using. I can barely remember your actual name, so if you want to be known as Mr. w00tie or Angel2348 online, you'd better introduce yourself that way offline.

Some sane person: Hi, I'm Bob. You: Hi, I'm LandOLeet.

Your clever screen name is like a tattoo. It's a way of going in to work without changing clothes from the acid party where you spent the evening. There's a time and place for a penis decal on your forehead and the Monday morning staff meeting is not it.
