Spoon, Why The Store Fuss?

Author matt   Filed under Music and the Internet   June 30, 2009 (3 days ago)  

I think (know) I’m nitpicking here, but dude, do we really need an 11-field form to fill out to buy $2.97 worth of music?

And that’s only step 1 of three.

spoon-checkout

Yea it’s Spoon’s first studio tracks since 1997’s outstanding Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga album. Yes, it’s called Got Nuffin. Yes it’s cheap. But that’s the point: for a $30 purchase I’ll go ahead and create an account, input my billing/shipping info, locate that stupid security code on the back of my credit card, confirm my new account via email blah blah blah. But for less than 3 bucks?

I have a better idea. Use PayPal… they have Buy Now buttons. You see them all over the web. You click it, and unless you’re one of the 10 people in Siberia who has no PayPal account, you’re done. Here’s how. Spoon, please tell your devs to make it easy for us.

Nitpick over. Now maybe I’ll complete this thing and get to listinin’.
