It's a real shame that I'm going to use this as an opportunity to rant about how stupid the fucking music industry is, but here goes...
Today I wanted to blog ~4 songs by artists that managed to win me over with their new singles. Turns out not one of them was allowed to upload their tune (as a full, non-preview) to SoundCloud because of label restrictions. Fuck them, right?
While you might want to lay blame on the artist, they're feeling as helpless as I am here. Case in point:

Anyway, this one stood out as by far my favorite, so I'm going to overcome the rage inside and blog it for you anyway, using none other than YouTube. Of course, I could just upload an MP3 and stream that (they'd probably turn the other eye), but alas, I don't feel like it's worth risking Indie Shuffle's existence over.
Sorry for the rant, James. I see "Miss You" is up there as a 29 second preview, but unfortunately that just won't cut it for our fans here. That said, I hope you're making shitloads of money off your label's decision to keep you off SoundCloud <3
I suppose YouTube ain't that bad, anyway...
