Sometimes, the Internet provides me with a good laugh…for example, THIS article.

Which outlines how Microsoft’s Zune MP3 player isn’t compatible with their new operating system – Windows Vista.
Now, in a few days, this point will be moo (mooo!), considering the flak Microsoft will get and they will hurry out with a fix…but still. It is hilarious.
Well, the highly anticipated Tenacious D album was released yesterday. I strolled into HMV, then strolled out when I realized what a fool I was for entering that store. They overprice everything! Down the hall at Music World, I found the album for $3 less.
As I walk to the car, I rip open the package and take a look at the liner notes which basically consist of screenshots of the new Tenacious D movie The Pick of Destiny. I sit down in the car and prepare myself for a full-out rock assault on my senses.
What am I given? Disappointment.
While there are some true gems on this album, it really doesn’t compare to the original album. I suppose I was hyping myself up for a full-out D attack to the bones, but really, I ended up with a soundtrack, filled with a handful of tunes over 3 minutes, and the rest sound like little songs they use to fill in between scenes during the movie. I suppose I should have been prepared for this. However, usually a soundtrack has a decent tracklisting!
All in all, I think I may appreciate this album more once I see the movie, but for now, all I can say is that a few songs deserve the devil hand sign, and the rest are literally soundtrack filler. Man, I’ve never said there is a filler on an album before…but when a song is 60 seconds or less, it’s filler.
My biggest disappointment will be Mike reading this and starting to cry.
