Note to Record Labels

If your song isn't available on iTunes, I'm going to steal it.

The sooner you figure that out the sooner you'll start to realize more sales. Someone would assume that you business gurus would have learned that in the first year of your degree -- somewhere between couch-burning and stripper-sex.

Go to iTunes to buy the White Ladder album by David Gray and there are only 2 songs from it available. Now I know this isn't the fault of iTunes...they would love to sell every song ever produced, I'm sure, so that leaves labels, as I'm ever-more sure that artists have little control over their own music these days.

So, off to Pirate Bay and problem solved, but I certainly would have preferred to pay someone for it.
