Two new E.P.s from Bleu

Just found out that Bleu has two new E.P.s out. The first is “The Blizzard of ‘05″. Bleu says “Most of it was recorded in the two weeks surrounding that legendary storm, and it was done almost entirely live in the studio.” The second is “Happy Birthday” which he describes as “a collection of songs i’ve written for people’s birthday’s over the years (many years)….they were all written, recorded and mixed in 24 hours (or less).” Unfortunately, they are only available via iTunes at this time. That counts me out. I’ve written to Bleu’s manager to see if there’s another way to get a hold of these E.P.s. I’ll let you know how that turns out as I’m sure there are other serious music collectors like me who can’t stand bloatware on a Windows box.

Does Windows count as bloatware?

Not the OS part, but I’m sure some of the extras that are shipped with it could be considered such. The implication in your question doesn’t ring true considering you’ve only been an Apple fanboy for a few years and you know Windows and have used it as your OS.

Have you seen iTunes on a PC with more than 20,000 tracks? It sucks. At least it did for me a few years ago. And, no, I’m not interested in trying it again as I use a music manager/player that fully meets my needs.

Plus there’s the issue of file format. iTunes sells music in a format that’s incompatible with most of the devices we use around the house (and in the car) for playing music. So I’d have to burn it and re-rip it or something like that. That’s lame.
