AllMusic.com Sucks

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.
