I went on iTunes yesterday to download Uneasy Listening Vol. 2
(Which I am still unhappy over because I don't have the actual cd) sad
But when I was on, I noticed that iTunes has processed another band under the name of H.I.M.
A band from Chicago called Him.
I nearly downloaded their cd thinking it may have been some obscure EP or side band like Ville and the Agents.
Anyone else see the flaw in iTunes logic?
Perhaps accidentally download Him?
Or don't you just hate it when people put HIM or him but mean H.I.M. ?

There should be like a filter that automatically runs it through and makes it the right name. I wish

yes, I know exactly what you're talking about and frankly I find it quite aggravating. Especially since Im looking for EP's and older songs that they don't even have on itunes.

It's no glitch, there really is a band from Chicago named "HiM"
When H.I.M. was coming to America, there was a bit of controversy between the two bands on naming rights. HiM said they should have the name because "we were here first...blah....blah...blah" It's in H.I.M.'s history-biography-type-book-thingy. It was really stupid from the sounds of it but eventually, H.I.M. gave them a sum of money and they pretty much shut up.
I haven't actually heard their music, but yeah, that's pretty much the story.

I heard about that. Him is a freeform jazz band. I have not made the mistake of downloading their music, but I have friends who've done so. Jimmy Pop from the Bloodhound Gang actually had a hand in fixing it all up, didn't he? I mean I know he helped get them signed to an American label, but I haven't been able to come across any biography book to tell much more. I'm a history buff, so I enjoy detail. redface

yeah!! that happened to me to (except i have the CD). i was looking at their stuff and was OMG! another HIM cd...but when i looked to preview it, it turned out to be jazz or something. i think they should catagorize things better.
btw, you can buy the hardcopy cd REALLY cheaply now. go to amazon.com or something cuz i know they carry it cheap.

Yeah ive done that a few times and its really annoying.
Especially when you get annoyed and everyones like, "what's the difference?"
I'm always like....cant you HEAR the difference??? Theyre totally different bands!!!
And then you always get asked what HIM stands for and I make something stupid up.
Like Hating Impish Maracas or something.
Hey, it shuts them up smile

Hey, it shuts them up smile I had a little girl come up to me. (A freshman I'm guessing) And ask me if the "thing" on my bag was satanic (in referance to the heartagram). I swear my eye twitched a little. I stared at her blankly for a few minutes. And said " Yes". And walked away. Of course I know it's not. But at least she won't show up at school the next day wearing a heartagram or anything. My school has a reputation for giving in to epidemic fads. Ignorant people make me sad. Ignorant iTunes makes me sad. Even worse... She was blonde. She gave in to the stereotype of the ditzy blonde american girl. It made me very sad. I'm going back to Finland...

When I first met my friend Gabe, he called me Lucy [lucifer, now changed to witch] because I have a heartagram on my backpack. He's joking around about it but I still get asked, "Is that a pentagram?!" and they give me a dirty look. I just say, "No." and walk away. =P

I hate that. The whole "ARE HIM SATANIC??? Although sometimes I just say yes too, because then they leave me alone in case I turn them into a chicken. The best time was when I wore my hoodie into church You know the one with Ville on the back with a roll up? It's got the heartagram on it And his cigerette looks like a joint And on my way out, some woman came up to me, looked at my hoodie and went "I'm going to pray for you" Someone else behind her said, "That one day you'll be normal" saintville moosey666 Yeah ive done that a few times and its really annoying.

Because we are normal. It's everyone else that's different. ^_^ I tell people that they're extremely satanic just so they won't listen. That way I don't have millions of poseurs running around telling me how much they love "Vill-ay Vai-low". It's not really like I'm lying, though. They can come off as being satanic. But if people were willing to look more closely they'd realize the 666 and the heartagrams are symbolic rather than satanic.

I know..I hate the new fans that are the most annoying little fangirls you have ever met in your life *just want to strangle them* - not that I've got anything against new fans, just the posers. You should have seen my parents face when I came back from the gig. While I was there, they researched them and found the lyrics for Join me in Death, and banned me from ever seeing them again. Apparently they're as bad as Marilyn Manson and all they want to do is destroy my soul or something like that :S Of course, now everyone wants to pray for me, or lay hands on me or whatever. But I agree - people need to look into the lyrics more. When Dark Light was released, I got loads of hassle off noobs, telling me that Killing Lonliness was an emo, depressing song. I was like KILLING lonliness, KILLING LONLINESS!!! It's a love song!!!! It's fun how being a HIM fan can spark such a debate with society isn't it??? saintville moosey666 I hate that.

(no i was just kidding)
but yeah, that sounds like something my parents would do, if they haven't done it already. hence, the reson why i've never been to any concert before. like i'm still trying to see the comaprison between HIM and Manson, other that that they both rock.
and the reason why alot of people don't look into the lyrics more is because they see the heartagram or they look at a song title, and they think, "hmm...hey there that thingamajigy symboly thing is looking to be a little on the evil side... and what is this here 'killing lonlieness'? ...haarrr *scratches chin*- this must mean that this here music is EVIL! EVIL I TELL YOU! BEGONE SATAN!!!!!!!"
...and yes, that was my impersonation of a hick's reaction to HIM.
