salon wonders what's wrong with the music business. simple. people know they're getting screwed, and are sick of it. i bet you would see album sales explode if prices dropped by five bucks. the music industry has gotten lazy from bloated margins. (and i still say there's a shareholder lawsuit in there for how badly they've failed to live up to their fiduciary duties in figuring out a way to make money online.)
i started scraping a new feed of online journalism review. lots of cool stuff there.
there's some sort of lord of the rings joke to be made about the hubbub being made over the rings used in the pitt-aniston wedding. (i saw the preview for the trilogy before shrek today. it actually looks like it might not suck. but we'll see. unfortunately for new line productions, it has the potential to suck for three consecutive years. ouch.)
