Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.
And I thought I wanted to hug Johan last week. I think I'm officially in love.
Listening to Ra, glance at the notes and there's @AliveRecords. Nice cover, Mr. Boissel! @TheGloryFires #magiccityjams http://t.co/uT0M77VJ

Lame. I won't ever pay for news. Everything they post, you can find a free article at google news.

Not so much from goodness of there hearts. First, this is just like every Internet media distributer's (ie Netflix, Hulu, etc.) "free trial" where after your free or , in this case, cheap trial ends you automatically are signed up to pay the overpriced, always payed, but rarely talked about real price for...well eternity. Second, they get free publicity and good PR from there move. Yaaah a nice thing for people who would have taken the plunge anyway, maybe even simply a good thing if you want to see it that way, but this move is certainly not one from the bottom of their hearts.
