..let me just say Henry Ford Jr was a knob and this was proven when he fired lee iacocca(the man responsible for one of the greatest icons of motor history...the mustang...and the man responsible for saving chrysler)...trust me i am a car lover!..and my arguement has absolutely NOTHING to do with cars or computer games...i love my cars and i grew up playing commodore 64, atari and sega.

my gripe is simple...be honest and 100% committed to one or the other because it's wrong to mislead people by sitting on the fence...you end up looking like a dishonest fool.

look at NIN's latest release GHOSTS(which personally...is a pile of crap)...after all the kicking and screaming NIN still had to release the album in CD format....same with RADIOHEAD's RAINBOWS...which is more or less the same old same old.

and i really hate when people actually believe that these rock bands are in it to change the system...or 'revolution' and all that...i mean come on....be serious...history shows that the only winners are...not mother nature...not the anti-war movement...not famine etc etc......it's the bloody artists singing about it, they're the ones with the healthy bank accounts at the end of the day...and why not?...they're normal people with families and obligations etc.

so fans should wake up and realise this...in particular with the pumpkins...part of the pumpkins appeal has been their ability to connect closer than any linkin park chart toppers could do....but my point is they, like radiohead and NIN amongst others, are taking out their low sales frustration on the format, being CD's.
The format shouldn't matter to them...why the worry?...simple...the world doesn't pay and play these bands like they used to and they're desperate to stay relevant by pretending to be at the cutting edge of some 'revolution' in music formatting...just like many people STILL believe that Dire Straits were the first artist to release a CD...as if they invented it or something?!?!
