The AP has another story today on artist holdouts finally giving in to digital music distribution. From the article, this stuck in my craw:

“We’ve always thought certain artists put out albums that aren’t meant to be compilations with 50 other artists,” said Ed “Punch” Andrews, manager for both (Bob) Seger and Kid Rock. “We’re hoping at some point albums become important again like they were in the past 30 years.”

Wah!, people aren’t listening to our entire LP. Wah!, artists are only getting a dime per download. Almosts makes you want to toss your iPod. Oh, wait, did I say iPod? I meant cookies.

People haven’t been listening to entire releases since the creation of a) shitty songs that pad otherwise decent LPs
