We have in bewilderment that Robert Smith has picked up a anger of the wafer with the powerful machine to sell iTunes.
The mosqueo has been such that Smith has sent a ranting electronic note comfortable with phrases like Who the fuck is going to pay this and not feel totally ripped off? and to the iTunes business model and what he considers a scam in the making.
Followers have to pay 8 pounds (about 11 euros) if you want to download 5 topics that will be his new job 4:13 Dream and published the 27 October.
The note is this:
DEAR…
I FUCKING DESPAIR
AGAIN
HYPNAGOGIC STATES EP IS NOW UP ON UK ITUNES…
5 TRACKS FOR £7.99?
FOR FUCKS SAKE!
AND THE PACKAGE IS COMPLETEY MISSING THE EXTRA BONUS TRACK (65REMIX OF THE LT “THE ONLY ONE”)
SO
YOU CAN BUY THE FOUR REMIXES BY 30STM/AFI/MCR/FOB INDIVIDUALLY FOR 79P EACH…
BUT YOU ONLY GET THE 65DOS “EXPLODING HEAD SYNDROME” REMIX OF ALL FOUR SINGLES IF YOU PAY £7.99 FOR “THE ALBUM”…
IE YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO PAY £4.83 FOR THE 65DOS REMIX… !!!
WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO PAY THIS AND NOT FEEL TOTALLY RIPPED OFF?
IT’S NOT A FUCKING ALBUM!
IT’S A 5 TRACK EP
AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GET AN EXTRA FREE TRACK (THE 65DOS REMIX OF “THE ONLY ONE”) IF YOU BUY IT AS A 5 TRACK EP
AND ITS SUPPOSED TO COST LESS IF YOU BUY IT AS A 5 TRACK EP THAN IF YOU BUY THE 5 TRACKS INDIVIDUALLY…
THAT IS WHAT WAS AGREED
THIS IS SO TOTALLY WRONG
I REALLY DO FUCKING DESPAIR
WHY IS IT SO INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO GET ANYTHING DONE RIGHT?
PLEASE FIX THIS NOW
