    St. Anger

    June 06th, 2003

    I went back to Warehouse Music yesterday during my lunch break and picked up my copy of St. Anger. The clerk seemed like a cool kid, what with his spiked hair, leather and studded jewelry. I asked how the new CD sounded. He said he liked it a lot and was going to buy it himself. I went on to explain to him that I’ll give my money to Metallica only because I’m a fan (despite Load and ReLoad). I then told him that I usually just use Kazaa. Oops. All the sudden the lighthearted friendliness fizzled from our conversation. I left. I guess some diehard record store employees aren’t keen on peer-to-peer file sharing clients. I didn’t care. I came home for lunch and watched the first half of the enclosed DVD.

    In other news: Austin was rated the best city for singles in 2003 because of “its terrific job market, its low cost of living…” Who the hell comes up with this stuff? Seriously.

      [...] Matt and I had a discussion recently about the ways in which we purchase our music.  I prefer to buy online for the sake of convenienc. He prefers to go to the store and feel and see and smell the packaging.  The 10,000 Days packaging is really cool and I’m sure I looked like I should ride the shortbus as I was sitting in the truck, looking through the stereoscopic lenses at images of science and of the occult. It’s been almost three years since I last purchased a music CD.  Another oddity is that I bought 10,000 Days for $9.98.  If it were carried in the iTunes Music Store, it would be $9.99.  I was geared to pay $17.99 for the CD.  I guess the band, like most, will make money by selling concert tickets for $100.  And I will pay that because how can I not support my favorite band that provides stereoscopic lenses to enhance my package?
