Agreed. It's a shit day for music. Occasionally they re-release some great records for the day, obviously, but why beg people to go into record shops if they only want to download mp3s on the internet? Their loss. Musicians should get more precious about their craft and expect to treat some of their own so-called fans with contempt, if necessary. Having 3 fans has never stopped anyone with a bit of talent doing what they like to do, and besides, fans are now the people who often do the most talking about music and reveal themselves to be pretentious bores with a knack for nihilism with no direction or real interest in anything. Just the time it takes to make your own failures as a human being that little more public in the midst of billions of words. Another way to say your taste doesn't appreciate the taste of such and such because you find it distasteful. What a waste of time if that's all there is to you.
