I just ordered it from starbucks.com the day it came out. Had it within the week.

Yeah, when it first came out it was relatively easy to get. Now you'll pay
out the ass for one. Although I got mine for only 30 bucks and Amazon
sellers ask double that, plus.

maybe im crazy..but i remember it like this...

what the hell? I've responded twice to this thread and my posts disappear?

i was having the same problem....tried firefox & safari....
seemed to be caused by inserting a hyperlink?

i ended up just posting TEST then editing my post..

I got the four songs before they went away. I was a bit surprised by the fact that there was no option to download all the songs at once. It sounds pretty good - nice, high-energy versions of four Eternal tunes. Kinda wish there was a little more :)

Well, indie artists selling their own stuff at shows don't have the same kind of costs that labels do, because labels still do more than simply manufacture product. They do (or should) distribute and promote it, support the material as it gestates, etc. You could argue that Sonic Youth (and maybe Radiohead, actually) are best poised to do their thing label free at this point. But neither have opted to take on the role of the label. While the "industry" digs itself in, indie labels have been struggling to survive to continue doing fair business. They deserve our support (far more than Starbucks).

If they wanna move product, CD's should be $10 across the board at this point. The only ones that seem to understand that are the indie artists selling their own stuff at shows etc. with a few exceptions.

I've passed up so many titles I'd love to hear simply because they were over ten bucks! $9.99 is an impulse buy. With so much stuff out there and nowhere to hear it, nobody's willing to take a chance unless the price is right.

OK so where is the goddamn thing? Not even a peep from anybody anywhere about why it's not on ITunes goddamnit!

so this is out today? i can't see it yet.

EDIT: i found it.
