Dear mc chris,
I’m one of those silly, nerdy, vegetarian, music playing, comic book-reading, and computer programming dweebs who have, in the past, bought your albums, t-shirts and tickets to your shows. I’ve got a nice little collection of photos of you and me (with you in the same pose and me in a variety of weights), and adult swim DVDs. I am the type of person who likes, understands and finds your work both intelligent and freaking hilarious. HOWEVER, I tried, a few times to get your new album, mc chris goes to hell in a format that fits my life choices in terms of technology and fagy green-earth-loving-recycling-etc preferences – obviously (from the overly wordy message) I was disappointed. Your website promotes an actual CD that would have to be shipped, in the mail, to my house. Seriously? That’s it? Did I not see the download link? I do drink a lot, so it’s possible. So I checked iTunes… I mean, I have friends who have bands at the local pool bar who have albums on iTunes… NOTHING. Not a fucking sausage! Pissed, I downloaded the album from thepiratebay – like I do for almost everyone one else. Great record by the way, you have defiantly moved the beats in line with the rhymes to a maturity of sheer hip-hop dork genius that puts you in a complete league of your own – but a fucking CD? Seriously? Look, I have bought like five things on your ebay store; I put money in the CF jar every time at every show; I force you on my friends, and blast your beats in my business.
Look, I’m happy to buy whatever you have to sell as long as it is not a useless piece of plastic. I have the album now, love it, happy to send you the $15 or whatever via paypal, but I don’t want, need or have a use for anything other than the files. Please give us some sort of option for doing this, or, if you MUST have a physical representation of your art, give us a T-shirt and a download code (that would be awesome – (I’d pay $50 for that) – or an action figure, or SOMETHING, other than a plastic case to get lost in my collection of Dreamcast games. If not, I’ll toss an extra few bucks in at the next show.
Thanks sir,
G
