Heartless Jim Actually Listened To My CD ?
Pre store opening music selection: New release from I Self Devine-Self Destruction. Not bad, this guy is the frontman from a group called the Micranots. He's also down with a group called Semi Official,and was involved with a group called the Dynospectrum. I actually may have to give it a listen again because some of the tracks did grab my attention. Overthow was one of them. Not sure if it will garner The Christopher Reed Head Bopping Track Of The Week Award..oh wait he's dead so I'll change that to the Short Bus Head Nod track of the week award, but it could be in the running. The production is aiight, With Vitamin D,Jake One and some dude Bean on the boards,like I said I gotta listen again.

So I came across an interesting post from someone affiliated with the Mavericks by the name of Mark Cuban. He did hit the nail on the head,it's a shame that he may be preaching to the choir.

Gotta love the folks at Young Jeezy's label for coming up with the idea of a car freshner thingee for a promo item. I gotta make sure to leave a few in the vents directly above the cash register where fearless leader will get the full effect of the aroma.

Speaking of fearless leader,his latest spiel to folks on the phone goes something like:
Yeah when they (the customers) would come in to by a mix c, they would also grab a regular cd like the 50 cent or something like that. Now that they can't get mix c s they don't come in and they'll be forced to by bootlegs of the officials and not pay taxes and the artists wont get any royalties and....he actually said this.

He then goes into his, "yeah the labels release the singles to radio weeks in advance, and not making the single available at retail. And since we can't sell mix c s,there's no way for the customer to get that particular single unless they like vinyl.

Gee I hope those folks don't find out about that thing called the internet where they could....shhhhh download the music for free. I mean gee wouldn't want customers to learn about this where they can download this guys' single without the music police kicking in their door.

I like the fact that Fearless Leader claims that reggeaton (Spanish reggae) is only available on mix cds which we don't carry, yet the newest song from Daddy Yankee is actually available on his official cd which came out last year. Curse those evil commercial radio stations for playing "Like You" by Daddy Yankee when it has only been available for a year on his latest release Barrio Fino. How dare they play "Reggaeton Latino feat Don Omar and Nore which can be found on this cd which we have on sale. Don't they realize that according to fearless leader reggaeton is only available on mix cds?

There's no place like work. There's no place like work. There's no place like work.

Ok I gotta stop for today, but I must take time to cheer on Tropical Depression 9 which is rumored to become Hurricane Irene by Sunday. All I gotta say is...come on Irene...bring it!
