So this morning, I read that Purdue’s free LEGAL music download service, Cdigix, was finally here. I was so excited that I rushed home after my physics lecture, hopped onto my computer, signed up, and logged on.
Search Artist:
"AC/DC"
Music from this artist is not available at this time. We offer the most comprehensive catalog of music available online and add new music every day. Check back soon.
Hmmm, I thought "the most comprehensive" would include one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever...perhaps they spell it differently or something.
"ACDC"
Music from this artist is not available at this time….
Caps?
"acdc"
Music from this artist is not available at this time….
By lead guitar?
"Angus Young"
Music from this artist is not available at this time….
There must be some sort of mistake
“Led Zeppelin”
Music from this artist is not available at this time….
Please. Dear god no.
“Zeppelin”
Music from this artist is not available at this time….
Artist after artist, song after song left me with the same disappointing message.
Music from this artist is not available at this time.
What sort of self respecting music program has no Zeppelin or AC/DC? Or very few classic rock songs for that matter?
*Sigh* I suppose I have no right to complain about the selection of a free music program. Beggars can’t be choosers. Still, maybe next time somebody will ask for my input about what kind of music I want before spending my out of state tuition dollars on a music program filled with Outkast, Nelly, and 50 Cent.

oh gawd... wah wah! don't get me wrong, i love that music too... but have you walked down your hall lately? have you noticed that the population of this school would much rather listen to the crap of today over the glorious music of 2-4 decades ago? my mother was right... i was born in the wrong era.
ReplyDeletewell that was respectful, eric.... not
ReplyDeleteAwesome...fight those bastards who like shitty "music." Arg, I loathe to use that word in a situation like this as it is an insult to real music, such as the bands you aforementioned searching for.
ReplyDeleteFight the system!
Damn stupid music like 50 cents Nelly Britney and all the other mindless drivle that is being pumped out today. I can't tell you how much i hate notalent hacks who crap all over music. No music brought out by them will ever be remembered in years time. Thats why the greats will always remain in the past.
