“I’m into this band and its mellow dreamy beach music, thus their name”
Am I wrong, or does that subordinate clause ("thus their name") not make any sense? It looks like she read the word 'thus' and decided to throw it into sentences willy-nilly.
As an aside, I think in addition to the "Indie Song of the Summer" poll there should be some sort of "Indie-Friendly Pop Song of the Summer" poll. Next summer I'm predicting a Snoop Dogg/Carly Rae Jepsen/Katy Perry supergroup single as winner.
I'm an awful music theif; I've got some 25,000+ songs in my iTunes library, most of which I've torrented. I can boast that I've bought a significant amount more physical music than Ms. White (150+ LPs, 400+ CDs, a handful of casettes), but the loss far outweighs the gain. I don't have deep economic knowledge, so my opinion is laregly (stupidly) unfounded, but I'm gonna go with Emily White on this one. There's gotta be a better way of distributing digital media than the current, at least one that'd make me feel less guilty.
I can (barely) remember a time when labels were selling CDs for almost twenty bucks a pop, which is (and was) outrageous. But even ten bucks for something intangible (as digital files are) seems kinda unreasonable to me. It'd seem we're moving in a cloud-based streaming direction, there must be some way to harness that for some cashola.
My two cents.
P.S. Thanks, Stereogummers, for last week's best comments recognitions, I'm super duper honored.
