Internet Marker

The world moves fast. When are we going to have a faster train that zips from SF to LA? For now we have to settle for the speed at which a product comes to market and you can buy it. I saw The Shins perform on Letterman and was moved by their song Phantom Limb–the band was having a good time performing and that was infectious. So I check to see if I could buy their album on iTunes, sure could. But I also went to their site and listened the song and then found them on MySpace, with all of their songs for free (not sure how long this will last), but I wanted it for my iPod, to be mobile, go running and to the gym and be able to listen to songs. It almost feels a bit too much, do I really need this album? I can listen to it for free at MySpace? But it’s art and worth the $10, much cheaper I’m guessing than at a record store. The amazing thing to me was the speed at which I could hear something and then buy it. The iTunes store is almost too easy to buy things.
