The whole downloading music thing...
ViolentDove:
He's obviously in a devo covers band. And therefore ILLEGAL.

I'm pretty sure most venues pay fees to the songwriters' association that allow them to have both covers and incidental music.
MysticalChicken:
Here's my stance on downloading music:
Step 1: "Hmm, this blog mentions a band called Spastic Cheese Monkeys*. I've never heard of them, because the radio station I listen to has never played them. Oh, how will I ever find out what they sound like?"
Step 2: INTARWEBS (actually, I was already on the intarwebs :oops:)
Step 3: Search for downloads of Spastic Cheese Monkeys songs on each of the three or four websites I use for free MP3s. Download up to maybe 5 songs.
Step 4: "Wow, Spastic Cheese Monkeys is an awesome band!"
Step 5: Make excursion downtown to local brick-and-mortar record store to buy Spastic Cheese Monkeys CD. Possibly buy more SCM CDs in future if initial CD is good.
*Spastic Cheese Monkeys is not a real band, but if they were, they would be my favorite band.
BobJoeJim:
Confirmed, I'm calling my local radio station to complain that they don't play enough music by Spastic Cheese Monkeys. This is a problem they need to fix NOW.
MysticalChicken:
BTW, if I ever form a band, I have dibs on the name Spastic Cheese Monkeys.
