Things to Buy: Nirvana Live at Reading

Widely considered one of the best live concert recordings, Nirvana – Live at Reading is now available on CD, DVD, and MP3s. Highly recommended. Lala has it for $8.50.

I’ve been jamming on this all afternoon. One trip through the album and I bought it. God, they were good.

Pricing Fail

Dear Amazon,

Fix this:

Amazon.com's MP3 purchase page for The Fray album

$0.99  x 10 < $9.99. I know it’s less than a dime, but come on. How hard is it to write a check for this?

Dear Amazon.com's MP3 Download Store…

Dear Amazon.com’s MP3 Download Store,

Look, I really, really like you. I do; you’re great, sweetheart. No DRM. Quick downloads. You’re the cat’s meow.

But, can we talk about your title naming convention? I know that getting Led Zeppelin IV for $2 is a total steal (aside: it seriously is right now). But why, why baby, do you put that insipid adendum “(Album Version)” on so many damn tracks. I mean, thank god IV is only 8 tracks long, because I have to remove that crap. And I love buying MP3s from you. Which means I have to do that a lot.

Every purchase requires me to fix your damn title naming convention. I’m afraid if you order the lobster, I’ll have to remind you not to eat the shells, honey.

Ok, that was cruel. I think I’m In Like with you. But, if you could see through to stop tagging “(Album Version)” onto so many tracks, Sugar, this could be love.

Thanks. How about knocking me a kiss, eh?

Did something happen to Itzhak Perlman?

Itzahak Perlman in Amazon's Top 10 MP3s on Sept 2, 2008

If not, why is he the #1MP3 artist on Amazon right now? I mean, I’m sure he’s a wonderful artist, but #1 today for no reason? Google News has nothing that stands out. 

Also, if you look at that photo without paying much attention, does it look like he has a puppet? 

Why does it smell like almonds in… ^H^H^H^H^H
