Damn you iTunes!

I'm annoyed, iTunes.  You make it entirely too easy to buy music.  No longer do I spend half an hour in Borders, listening to sound samples and deciding which CDs I want to buy.  On the other hand, I can't download everything in sight anymore and delete whatever I don't want.  Stupid firewalled internet.

My current frustration is based on the fact that every CD I've bought from iTunes in the past month has been disappointing.  I listen to the sound samples and they sound good, and then when I listen to the whole album I'm usually either underwhelmed or I get bored within a few days.  At the moment, I'm annoyed with the Katy Perry album.  She's supposed to be the new alternative pop voice or whatever, and that "I Kissed a Girl" song is really catchy.  However, the entire rest of the album is completely filler, as far as I'm concerned.  It's completely generic.

Also, one of her song titles is in AIMspeak.  I HATE song titles in AIMspeak

I think the moral of the story is that I need to stop and think carefully before I waste my money on music, especially since it's so easy on iTunes and it doesn't feel like I'm spending real money because all I do is click the 'buy' button.
