Is it possible to simultaneously laugh and cry?
Cause if it's not, I have no idea what the hell I'm thinking right now. I have three reasons for posting this question, all of which come from mindless browsing on iTunes:
1. Sountrack? Whaaat?
As much as I loved the Enron movie, this is going too far. I read online that iTunes had a soundtrack up and initially thought it was a joke, or a lie. But, no, there's a collection of the music underscoring the film.

2. All the songs are album-only!
You'd think an indie documentary only playing in a couple hundred theaters around the country would take money however they could get it. However, these people got greedy, the exact thing their movie lobbies against, and made the iTunes downloads album-only.

3. Ay carumba!
Add on to that the fact that the album costs $11.99. That's $12 for 11 tracks. I know the film isn't about numbers, it's about people (as the story makes very clear), but someone's not thinking about the numbers here. While other albums charge $.99 per song on iTunes (yes, I know others offer it cheaper, but I like Apple, so sue me), this one seems to think people will pay extra! Now I sound like a total idiot, so I'll just hotlink the picture.

Which reminds me...
Note to self: If you ever become CEO of a major corporation, DO NOT call representative from your investors an "asshole" like the Enron guy did...

post a screen of the songs. Why would anyone by these? Marylin Manson? OINGO BOINGO? What the hell is that? The preview of "gods away on buisness" was hilarious. They are doing the world a favor by not releasing them one by one.
Not saying there's ever a chance in hell I would buy them, but I'm just looking out for the public interest.
Assuming 'public interest' refers to the three people in the world (including herself) who like Marilyn Manson's music.
Marylin Manson is a woman?
I don't know. Isn't she? Marylin Monroe is...
