So I was browsing the web for bands today and I came across the website for Franz Ferdinand. I downloaded the mp3 on their website and instantly fell in love with it. I have two points to make about this: 1) I can't really recall the last time I listened to the first five seconds of a song and loved it. It's reassuring to know that there is still good music out there. Before this, the closest to "love at first listen" were Metric, stellastarr* and Interpol. I just hope the rest of the songs by FF is of such high calibre as Darts Of Pleasure. (Added later: actually I just remembered that the last "love at first listen" band for me was Ladytron) 2) The RIAA and the big record companies are stupid. Because of one freely accessible mp3, I will go to their concert in February for their Toronto debut (you should too), buy their EP or album when it comes out, and tell tonnes of people about them. I don't see how this is bad for business. |
