iTunes, Album Only:
I looked at the “Album Only” button. Album after album on iTunes allows you to buy individual songs. You can do this from classic albums like The Who’s “Quadrophenia.” The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds.” The Flaming Lips’ “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.” Albums that were conceived, and meant to be listened to, as complete pieces, whole works of art not meant to be broken up for individual consumption. And yet I couldn’t buy this single song because the integrity of the entire soundtrack to “Garfield: The Movie” had to remain intact. God forbid I should listen to anything other than “Fat Cat Keeps Getting Fatter,” by the Squirrel Nut Zippers, after the Stray Cats’ “Stray Cat Strut.”via Ricky. 0

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
