APPLE UP - WAL MART DOWN…

This makes me extremely excited.  Apple (Mac) is one of the coolest companies out there making a whole whack load of shit we do not need, but always finding a way to market it to us to make us think that we need it - or constantly need to update it.  It has just been announced on CNN.com that according to the latest polls, Apple has officially topped Wal-Mart as the largest and most used music distributor.  A lot can be said about this - first off - who the fuck was buying their music at Wal Mart in the first place to make it #1 in the world?  Last I remember of Wal-Mart music was Alanis Morisette on the family vacation, where you had to have a jack hammer to get the GD CD out of the plastic tomb in which they encapsulate it in the hopes that not only will you not steal it, but the artist will have another album out by the time you open the fucking thing.  Fuck those Americans LOVE their Wal-Mart.  I guess it also has to do with the fact that in the USA, Wal-Mart is more like Wal-Mall with stores that have over 20 000 sq feet of discount white trash shopping from kitty’s on a printed tee to a TUB of sour gummy ant eater like animals coated in sour sugar and then dipped in chocolate and caramel, placed in a package of meringue.  Don’t get me wrong - there is a time and place for Wal-Mart, and then there is a time and place to spend a bit of money and get something of quality whose main ingredient is not polyester or jersey.  Obese = jersey, what can you say - America being the most obese society, it makes sense that Wal-Mart is what it is.  Ok - swinging it back to music now.  Apple has to be credited for saving parts of the music industry.  There will always be arguments that Apple has a strong hold on the buying and selling of music, but before itunes came around, Limewire, Napster and BearShare were getting most of the profit and ripping the artists off in the process.  I would gladly buy a tune for .99 cents or an entire album for $12.99 especially if I do not have to get off my ass to go and get it.  Send it to me for cheap IMMEDIATELY?  Who can argue with that?  Needless to say it says something about where this is all heading - its all electronic folks - they are saying that HMV and Music World are next on the shopping block, BUT, unless Apple can find a way to send me unseen episodes of the Golden Girls with Bea Arthur sans shoulder pads for $1.99, HMV may be just fine.  God I love TV on DVD…God I love Bea Arthur…
