Apple says Beatles on iTunes soon ...so what!
I read earlier this week that Apple are planning a big ad during the upcoming Super Bowl to announce the availability of The Beatles catalog on their iTunes Store. Big deal! Is anyone else tired of the remaining Beatles cashing in all the time ? Doesn't everyone who can rip or download MP3s already have at least one of their greatest hits albums, or that CD that has their entire catalog on 1 menu driven disc that was for sale underground a few years back ? Aren't we tired of making wrinkly McCartney richer by the day? After that fucking awful "Love" album last Christmas I say boycott the money grabbing asshole and if you must, download elsewhere and dont part with a red cent!
And to Apple, come on! Wake up and smell what Microsoft is actually getting right with the Zune. It's Zune Social site is higlighting lots of upcoming new acts, encouraging downloads of something different. What's your next move?

If you haven't already heard, Apple is getting an exclusive three-month deal on supposedly a completely remastered catalog of Beatles tunes before Apple releases the albums this spring/summer '07 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper. In other words, the company will, most likely, scrap the old '87 remasters with state-of-the-art stereo and mono releases. So, shut your f****n' mouth and be happy that they finally took notice of the Beatles' catalog now 20 years later. Beatle fans will be all over this in no time, no matter how much richer McCartney or...GOD FORBID...Michael Jackson gets.
