I Love Spotify!

I was away for two weeks and didn't have the opportunity, to watch the beginning of Lost season five on my tv. Came back and now I was trying to find the three first episodes on the net, somethings bad have happened to Youtube I think, someone, some nasty corporation have sued them or something, cause good old stuff on there have been removed. You used to be able to watch Tom Petty's great music video It's Good To Be King on Youtube, try to find it on there now. That one was a real good music video, among all the other trashy crap in the world of music videos, MTV and all that nonsense (bikini bubble gum lipgloss girls with dance music, bumping cars, muscle guys with a million tattoos and strange fake teeth, fake everything really, fake cellphone prostitutes using the music as an ad for a product). I'm usually not ignorant towards any music, but god damn those lousy music videos! Are we now suppose to pay someone, somewhere to view the music videos? You can never find any videos by Prince on Youtube, but that's not news, Prince who was claimed to be so anti-companies and open minded, have not shared one of his hundreds or so music videos on Youtube. It's like when Metallica sued Napster (which they did just around the time that I had just discovered Napster. Today Napster is just another porn downloader from what I understand), it's done to earn more money, money they never could lose in the first place, as it's either multi millionaire bands and billionaire companies that sue. They ruin so much for people that love the music. Internet for me, opened a whole new world of music, before the net, all I knew about was MTV.

But now we got the very lovely wonderful Spotify. I'm telling you it's the most lovable thing on the webnet today, it is for true music lovers. I use it as much as I can now. I discovered new songs that became favourites the first week I tried it out, now I've got a whole playlist full of new stuff I love to hear. I discovered that I'm really very found of Danzig, so much that I'm going to buy the albums. It has good drums, great guitars, songs are a bit dark which is never a bad thing to me and wow how great Glenn's voice is! Spotify allows you to listen to song in it's full length, it gives you access to whole albums. If artists really want their music bought by people, that listen to the cds over and over and over and over again, they should then care about things like Spotify, cause iTunes only gives you previews of songs, where Spotify lets you listen to what you can buy in it's fullness.

Lately I have gotten really tired of my huge dvd collection, I have so many dvds that I will never look at again. I need to go trough them and maybe put them in a big box and sell a lot of it off on auction. I will keep my favourites of course. I ordered the final cut of Blade Runner from Amazon just before xmas, it was sent out but I never got it, which means someone stole it. It happens rarely on Amazon, it's happened about two times for me, you never get your money back or anything, as there's no proof of it of course. It doesn't stop me from shopping on the net, the best things are on the net after all. I will have to buy the final cut Blade Runner again, it's one of my favourite films and I look forward to the final cut one. I used to have Blade Runner on vhs, but someone stole it (borrowed it and never gave it back) from me. About dvds, I decided to try out renting dvd films, instead of growing my dvd collection larger. I'll rent it on Lovefilm, a service very similar to Netflix (we don't get Netflix in this country I think). I'll try it out and if I really love a film I rent, I can just buy it afterwards, this way I will only own films I like, not a mix of favs and dislikes.

Wait I found the It's Good To Be King music video, not on Youtube though, but on Yahoo videos. It's one of those videos with what appears to be real people, cutting away the shallowness of todays MTV videos.

God damn ABC for this!

...Nevermind I managed to find the episodes elsewhere.
