Bongo and his po-faced Jesus-rocking bandmates, clearly no longer content with saving the world, now want to fleece those parts of it that they haven't yet managed to buy. They had the nerve to massively overcharge for three remastered albums that were over 25 years old earlier this year, and now they want to overmarket another album from the same ideologically vacuous seam they've been mining since 'Pop' went tits-up and forced them to change tack in the '90s. I've now decided that for every mediocre album released by over-protective megabands who're shit-scared of the dent that they think limewire will make to their already enormous bank balance, I'm going to illegally download TEN from their back catalogue, just to spite them. Just what am I going to do with a PC-full of shit Metallica, Oasis and U2 though?
