really iTunes, really??!

Since when did purchasing a single song on iTunes cost $1.29?! I mean, maybe I haven't purchased in a few weeks, maybe a month, but you raised the price by 30 cents?! That's a freakin' 30% increase. I mean, I try to be an honest citizen and pay for my music, I never steal, and I know maybe since we are in tough economic times maybe not many people are buying music right now? I don't know, but I was quite peeved when halfway through downloading my 9 songs this morning I realized that I just paid $1.29 for each of them. GAH! Even if I had noticed the price increase, I still would have bought them, I just don't understand why such a giant increase in the rate. A dollar a song seemed like a nice little deal.

Oh well, good thing I have this wonderful weather to keep my spirits high. And some wonderfully new, expensive songs to keep my ears happy. And a 3 day weekend with Mr. Q, followed by a 3 day work week, followed by another 3 day weekend with Mr. Q spent in my hometown. I am beside myself with excitement. So, in your face, iTunes.

**Update** So Mr. Q told me that iTunes raised the price on all music except the Indie category. What a pile of a crap, it's not as though the price in Indie songs went down, you just get them at the old price of 99 cents.
