Nos cuentan en desconcierto que Robert Smith se ha pillado un cabreo de la ostia con la todopoderosa maquina de vender iTunes.
El mosqueo ha sido tal que Smith a enviado un nota electrónica despachandose agusto con frases como Who the fuck is going to pay this and not feel totally ripped off? y ante el modelo de negocio de iTunes y lo que el considera un timo en toda regla.
Los seguidores tienen que abonar 8 libras (unos 11 euros) si quieren descargarse 5 temas del que será su nuevo trabajo 4:13 Dream y que se publica el 27 de octubre.
La nota es esta:
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 (65DOS LT REMIX OF «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
