It’s easy to be a consumer! Just follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00c2\u00a0Godskitchen email me an e-flyer, promoting their new compilation set<\/li>\n
  2. Monkey see, monkey click link, get to the real (Flash-based) e-flyer, including some click-to-play excerpts<\/li>\n
  3. Listen and think ‘actually, that’s quite a decent mix, must remember to pick it up’<\/li>\n
  4. Notice iTunes store link<\/li>\n
  5. Pause for about 300 milliseconds<\/li>\n
  6. Click iTunes store link<\/li>\n
  7. Observe the full-track list in iTunes, and then notice the three-disc price is only a tenner<\/li>\n
  8. Mentally weigh up karmic evil of using iTunes vs buying CD on Amazon, waiting for it, ripping it, having the CDDB data be wrong, and the album art missing.<\/li>\n
  9. Pause for about 100 milliseconds<\/li>\n
  10. Buy it on iTunes<\/li>\n
  11. Profit. (for Apple, or whoever it is actually makes money from the store)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It’s a good mix, if you like classic trance. Otherwise, move swiftly along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
