what's up with THAT?

...so, i'm all hip and cool and everything, and i know people who send me songs and recommendations and stuff, i even have my own XM station going for me and all like that, because i am so, you know, totally with it, and so i am grooving along with iTunes and iMyself am looking at the sort criteria that are available, you know you can sort them by song Name, or by Play Count, or by Time, or by Artist, or by Album -- BY ALBUM???

isn't an album one of those shiney black vinyl things that comes in a cardboard sleeve, sometimes it's a fold-out that is great for getting the seeds out, and you play albums on a turntable, or the late-night disk-jockey does...

all the hip and cool and with-it bands that my friends listen to always say, "This song is on our new CD." ...i mean, isn't it a litmus test to figure out if an artist has jumped the shark if, at their concerts, they say, "This song is on the new album." -- if you say that don't you get played on oldies stations?

i thought iTunes was all about the end of the Album. shoot -- i thought iTunes was all about the end of the CD!!

the Album is dead. Long Live the Album!
