Kasabian - Blow Up iTunes?!

(via XFM http://bit.ly/6sTbgZ)

"Serge Pizzorno and co. take a stand against the internet and illegal downloaders. “There’s nothing special about music anymore”, they say.
Guitarist Pizzorno added:

“Wouldn’t it be phenomenal if there was some sort of wave that hit earth and wiped everyone’s computer and the only thing left was CDs and records?”

So basically people would only be able to have access to signed music? What a ridiculous elitist thing to say. It's basically saying "I've made it to the top, now all of the others can f*ck off".
iTunes and all of the other download sites have given people access to music they wouldn't normally be able to have access to. And yes, even illegal downloading has given that opportunity to people. People used to bootleg music way before itunes and people will continue to afterwards.

How many people have downloaded Kasabian from iTunes from completely remote areas where your CDs wouldn't have been sold? If you took all of Kasabians download sales away how much money would you have left? A f*cking lot less.

I'm not sure if the band are saying that to try and be controvertial or maybe they're just idiots, either way they have well and truly lost a fan.
