Duped!

I have been Duped (no Jenna, not Doobed). I am convinced that this is the music industry's way at getting back at those of us who so innocently dabbled in the art of downloading a song or two (or a few hundred, but who is counting anyway?) off the internet.

Recently Nelly released two hot new songs for radio and MTV play, "Flap your Wings" and "My Place." Since downloading songs without paying is soooo 2002, I decided that once Nelly's new CD hit the record stores, I would actually buy it. Yesterday, while attempting to do this, I had a near panic attack.

That insidious Nelly came out with 2 different CDs, each with only one of the songs! I stood stressed and perplexed at the local Virgin Megastore. I couldn't decide which one sounded better, so I bought both of them. I have been snowed by a man who can't spell, properly enunciate, and thinks that gold teeth and band aids are perfect accessories. Damn you, Nelly.
