    I don't buy my music at Walmart so I could care less. To those that do I hope the don't ban it so those that want it can get it.

But whatever, I'm sorry I made a big deal out of it, it seemed to work well for you, so that's great.

    I'm seriously not understanding wtf you are talking about. I could spend $10 on a package of diapers 10 months ago, when I had an extra $10. Or I can spend $10 on a package of diapers today, when I don't really have an extra $10.

    Either way, I spent $10.
    OK, so instead of buying the diapers 10 months ago, you put the $10 in a special diapers bank account. 10 months go by, the money in the bank is now $11 (for argument's sake). You go and spend $10 on diapers, and you end up with an extra $1 in the bank, and you still have the diapers when you need them. If you did this 10 times, you'd have enough left over to buy an extra package of diapers.

    Try it for your next baby. You'll love it! It's like your parents' suggestion (paying bits and pieces as you go, while you have the money) but with the added advantage of making the bank work for you!

    They are. You don't see anything wrong with a company putting stipulations on a product in order to be sold in their store?

    Of course there's nothing wrong with that. This is America. At least it was last time I checked. Wal-Mart doesn't have to sell anything it does not want to. And a company does not have to sell their product in Wal-Mart if they don't want to.

    That's the way America works.

    By Bill Werde Bill Werde – Mon Jun 1, 8:38 pm ET
    NEW YORK (Billboard) – As Internet reports suggested, Pearl Jam was indeed recording a Target commercial under the direction of Cameron Crowe last week at Seattle's Showbox theater. But there's more to the story than an exclusive retail relationship.

    It has been known that Pearl Jam is no longer under contract, after 18 years of recording for Sony-affiliated labels, and there has been a good deal of speculation about who would release the rock act's next album. Kelly Curtis, who has managed Pearl Jam since day one, conducted a wide-ranging interview with Billboard on Sunday night, confirming that the band's next release -- rumored to be called "Backspacer" and currently scheduled for an early fall release -- would arrive without a U.S. label but backed by a consortium of partners, including Target as the "big box" retail partner.

    "We'll have a lot of partners," said Curtis, who confirmed that deals were finished or in the works with an online retailer, a mobile partner, a gaming company and a network or possibly networks of indie retail stores.

    "Target ended up allowing us to have other partners. We'll be able to take care of all levels of the Pearl Jam fan ... We wish we could tell the whole story right now, but all the deals aren't done. Target was cool enough to realize that little independent record stores are not their competition." Curtis was quick to note that the album would be for sale via Pearl Jam's fan club, Ten Club.

    News of the Target commercial taping broke last week on antiquiet.com, which is also hosting a bootleg recording from the Target taping of a song that Curtis confirmed was called "The Fixer" and is in the running as the album's first single.

    Curtis said the Target commercial was only one reason for the Showbox session; with singer Eddie Vedder on tour supporting his solo work for the next month, "we had a narrow window to get some footage," Curtis said. "We shot three or four songs that night." Curtis said that some of the footage may be used for a project that filmmaker Crowe is working on in connection with the band's upcoming 20th anniversary.
