This is a post that will be of no interest to our target demographic.
What is the Furriners target demo you ask?
I guess it is mostly 30+ liberals with an interest in politics. Oh, and Derek Anderson fans, of course. Judging by our hate mail, we also get people who want to tell us we're terrorist-sympathizing socialists too!
Haha... just kidding. We don't get mail. Well, we do... but it's all from me to my colleague saying he should familiarize himself with Washington, D.C. stalker laws because of his man love for Ezra Klein.
Anyway, here is my personal observation.
Recently, I have developed a passion for old school punk rock. This has led me to the dark corners of the internet where old dirtbag record collectors taunt one another about how they found an old 7" single from an obscure band at an obscure record store in an obscure town. A good time is had by all.
For someone like me who does not own a record player and does not pour over price guides of old records wondering if I'll ever find that single by The Absentees, the goal has been to find good new (old) music. I admit that sometimes this includes downloading free mp3s that may or may not be posted legally. And sometimes this results in reading about a band and deciding to buy a CD from Amazon.
This is where I become like an NFL GM. If I download an mp3 for free and don't care for it, I just delete it and don't think twice about it. However, if I have bought an mp3 and don't care for it, I seem to treat it like it's a first round pick who just hasn't reached it's ceiling. For example, I bought The Complete Eater after hearing Thinking Of The USA. The problem is that that song is awesome and the rest of the CD seems to blow... but I can't get myself to delete it. I'm like the Jets with Vernon Gholston.
