Stroke This
While attempting to burn music I purchased at the I-Tunes store the burning process stops and the phrase, “Cancel disc burn” appears in the I-Tunes’ window. Then after a minute I receive an error message that reads, “The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4251).” I have already tried restarting my computer but this error persists. This is my first attempt at burning CDs since I downloaded the most recent version of I-Tunes.
Regards,
Above was my email in its entirety…the pulse wrenching words I had to scribe to the overly paid fellows at I-Tunes. I pre-ordered the new Strokes album First Impressions of Earth from the lovely I-Tunes store so I could get the two free songs they were slapping on with the bill. Along with the many Weezer music career comparisons I’ve read in reviews, I keep hearing how these guys really change up their sound for this record so I was interested in slathering up my balls to some good ole’ pansy boy New Your music, while drinking white zinfandel and indulging in some William Faulkner. I got home and downloaded the songs in about 2 ½ hours on my blazing wireless internet Ricochet connection. The CD burning process began. Just as soon as the lotion reached room temperature and I assumed the position my 4x speed external burner spit out the metallic plate known as a partially inscribed CDR and an error message sat plastered on my computer screen. My night was ruined. What was I supposed to do??? I went into the I-Tunes help section and sent them a diagnostic of my computer. What the hell is a diagnostic anyway? I just wanted my tunes on a CD and the rhythm of the night to take hold. I tried rebooting my computer with no Stroke of luck. Finally, I resorted to the lame ass email above. I’ve given the album a slight listen so far, while attached to my computer secretly hidden in a worn down and tattered shack built with nothing but rusted nails and manifesto agendas. It’s lonely here in the winter woodlands of Colorado and if I can’t have my Strokes then I will have to STROKE without them….wait I’m over sharing again…SORRY.
