Here's an interesting article updating the subscription music services. I'm debating whether to try the new Yahoo Launch service, but two things really irk me about it: 1. It only seems to work in IE (I'm addicted to Firefox now), and the music is not playable on iPods. Still, I like the idea of paying $60 a year to be able to listen to just about anything I want whenever I want. Well, actually, I like the idea of not paying anything, but I'm tired of bad sound quality, viruses and other nasties that come with services like Soul Seek. Plus, I want to at least attempt the legal model.

What I'm listening to: The new System of a Down. So far I feel the same way as I do about other SOAD CDs: The music's great, but Serj's voice makes me want to kill someone. I'll give a more thoughtful review later.

Damn but I hate System of a Down. Let me guess: each song started with a gentle progression, and then 30 seconds in, a harsh time change/fuzz blast as they suddenly RAWK!!!
With that tone-deaf sangin'. I'm going to go smack someone right now just thinking about it.
You know, it's actually starting to grow on me.
Well, you always liked Metal better than I did too.
RAWK!!!
