Qtrax is still incredibly gay.

I thought I’d check in with our old friend Qtrax. You may recall them being the website that broke headlines worldwide when they launched a service for downloading free ad-supported music? It was a great idea, fantastic really, except that they hadn’t made the deal with the major record labels yet, so… there was no music. The only thing we know about them is that they are incredibly stupid businessfolks in charge of what could be a groundbreaking, industry-altering venture.

That said, I decided to go back and check it out since they’ve had months to get their shit together, and lo, I was able to sign up and get ready to download FREE MUSIC!!!!

The first thing i searched was Bob Dylan, and I was amazed that the first album that came up is Dylan’s “Flower Power”!!! What? You’ve never heard of flower power? Oh, well, maybe that’s because it’s not a BOB DYLAN album. It’s a compilation that is so bad that not even late night television infomercials would offer it in their selection. It’s not real! Whoopty-fuckin-do I can download Dylan’s greatest hits, one by one, from bad compilation albums.

DUMB.

Know what’s even better? I did try to download something and a warning box popped up that said “downloads coming soon!”

YAAAAYYYY!!!!!

These people should be tarred and feathered.
