\"B<\/p>\n

B is for Bug<\/b><\/p>\n

I have the iTunes Music Store<\/a> bug. So far I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve bought 453 songs from iTunes. Although as you regular Impulsive Buy readers may know, 117 of those came from the Mozart: Symphonies<\/a> collection I bought a few months back in my attempt to win the iTunes 1,000,000th download contest. <\/p>\n

The great thing about the iTunes Music Store is the ability to purchase and download individual tracks. I want \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ice Ice Baby,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but I definitely don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want the rest of To The Extreme<\/i><\/a>. Okay, maybe I might want \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Play That Funky Music,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but just for those I Love the 90s nostalgia moments and when I decide to get lines shaved on the side of my head.<\/p>\n

On occasion, I do purchase whole albums from iTunes, like Less Than Jake\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s B is for B-Sides<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

B is for Bargain<\/b><\/p>\n

B is for B-Sides<\/i> is a bargain because I bought the album for $7.92. At Amazon the CD can be purchased<\/a> for $13.98. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a six-dollar difference. Sure you can rip the songs and distribute them across peer-to-peer networks with the CD, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really scared of the RIAA and Metallica, although not as much since they cut their hair.<\/p>\n

B is for Brief.<\/b><\/p>\n

B is for B-Sides<\/i> contains 12 tracks that total about 28 minutes in length, which is quite brief. Almost all of the songs run under two minutes and thirty seconds. Just to let you ladies know, my lovemaking sessions last much longer than this album. So what album would best describe the length of my lovemaking abilities? All 9 hours and 56 minutes of the Mozart: Symphonies collection, of course. <\/p>\n

Okay, not really.<\/p>\n

B is for Bitchin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/b><\/p>\n

Despite its length, the album is bitchin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (Wait. Do the young folks still use that word? How about B is for Bad Ass?). All the tracks for B is for B-Sides<\/i> were recorded for the Anthem<\/i><\/a> album, which was released last year. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a hardcore fan of the group, this album will probably sound a little different than their earlier albums, because the horn section isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t featured as much. But the songs are as fast-paced as ever. Some of my favorites include \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Portrait of a Cigarette Smoker At 19\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bridge and Tunnel Authority.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

B is for Bill<\/b><\/p>\n

Because the iTunes Music Store uses your credit card information for purchases, the $7.92 was added to my slowly growing credit card bill, but it was worth it.<\/p>\n
