On Being Seduced...

I always swore that I wouldn't get into the music downloading hype. Nope. Not for this guy. While I do want an iPod really bad (and wouldn't mind a reader sending me one), I thought I'd always be a brick-and-mortar CD ripping fool. I worried about the stability of the electronic CD. After all, something that's there...but not there, can't really be trusted, can it?

So, much to my surprise, I opened iTunes this afternoon to check out some songs, and realized I've purchased 45 songs off the store already! This is after only having my Powerbook for less than 2 months, and having no money! Admittedly, most of the songs have come from free downloads, either those free from the store, or from Pepsi caps. But recently, I've started buying albums from iTunes. I know I'm going to buy Aimee Man's new one, and Ryan Adam's "Cold Roses" off iTunes when they come out.

So, iTunes has seduced me. It tells me I'm gorgeous, and beautiful. It never tells me I should do something with my hair, or should go to the gym. We never fight. I love you iTunes. You're so good to me.
