It's a marketing trick :( by Jerry Whorebach 03/30/2008, 11:08am PDT In a few months, they're gonna release these too-hot-to-handle supersongs on iTunes. Everyone's gonna download them because of the publicity and because they wanna show their support for audience-challenging material. So basically someone at Universal took a few totally unremarkable songs and manufactured at least one hit single, by exploiting the potential of the internet instead of just whining about it.
