I used to use Allmusic.com several times a week, for music or band lookups and such.
Today, I noticed they’ve moved to an ‘account-required’ format.
I’m sure that move made perfect sense to the bitter, disenfranchised web producers at Allmusic.com, who, after being passed over for raises for three years in a row, decided that since they couldn’t get away with stabbing their CEO in the face with a blunt spoon, they’d just convince him to render the site completely un-navigable and locked-off from the rest of the Internet. In short, Allmusic.com has inserted a Desert Eagle .50 caliber handgun into its own anus, and pulled the trigger.
Good riddance. There’s always Amazon, whose band info is almost as good — and hey, they have a profit model. Imagine that.
This is just bad. When you want to settle movie trivia bets, you go to IMDB. For music trivia, you used to hit AllMusic. Idiots.
That’s really sad.
ooooh!!…but the visuals will haunt my overworked synapses for DAYS to come!!
