I like to think of myself more as a buyer of music and concert attendee, thanks.

I really can't tell if he's making some snarky comment about people downloading the album pre-release or not. For what it's worth, I actually *did* buy the single from the iTunes store and thought it was decent. I'll reserve full judgement for the album, which I'll try to listen to in full before buying. I'd like to think I'm part of the silent minority that didn't yet voice an opinion, but hey... I really don't know where the shots at bleep are coming from, though. Sure, AAC is great for smaller downloads, but you're not going to beat bleep's 256kbit mp3s. I'd like to think the licensing permits artists to sell via both bleep and the iTMS (like I mentioned a while ago), but I could be wrong. Are there any actual reviews of the album anywhere yet? I'll try to track it down locally in the next week or so. - mike This communication is for use by the intended recipient and contains information that may be privileged, confidential or copyrighted under applicable law.
