Go Figure

Just a few weeks ago I was blogging the praises of Live365 internet radio and how they have little annoying commercialism and a lot of pleasant, office-appropriate music.
So imagine my disheartening surprise when I check in with dear old Live365 last week to find that they are now bombarding listeners with advertisements, both visual and auditory. Most of these center around the theme of, "Hey, aren't all these advertisements annoying? If you just pay us X dollars a month for a preferred membership, we'll stop bugging you and let you get back to the music!"
I am appalled, and yet I continue to go to the site because it's easier than trying to find something on the radio or lugging around enough cds to satisfy my whims. I just don't go there as often as I used to.
Go figure.
