| does anybody know if there is going to be a pre-order sort of thing available for SMYT from the record label? i pre-ordered Dog in the Sand from whatarerecords and i got my copy before the cd release date and a promotional post card. it was awesome. i would love it if there was something like that with this album. even if i don't get it early or anything special with it, if i could order the album directly from whatever record company he is with right now and have less of my money go to middle men, that would be great. i can always just pre-order it through amazon.com or get it in the store, but, like i said, i would rather not. i try to stay on top of these things but i just feel a little in the dark. thanks for any info anybody may have! |

| You'll be able to pre-order SMYT from SpinART through Amazon.com. When you do that, you'll get full RealMedia <well, better than nothing> streaming access to the album, so you don't have to wait until September to buy it. It's a pretty cool idea and a good way of working with the Internet, I think. Hats off to SpinART. Now if only the stream wasn't Real... |

i guess its a good idea, but if i wanted to hear a version like that id just downloaded it. the only reason im waiting is so i get to take it out of the package and listen to it in my car on the ride home. its worth it.

I suppose that since they can't officially support piracy and all people downloading all these pirated copies, they get the best of both worlds by offering their own version as a stream (not contributing to the quanitity of ripped versions) and thereby letting people who choose to do so the ability to hear a copy of it legally before they actually receive it.
For me, personally, there is no doubt that I'll be purchasing it, so I don't feel bad about downloading the preview/pirated version, but others are perhaps more ethical than myself and would rather not download through semi-legal channels. For people who'd rather wait, this doesn't change a thing, whatever their/your ethics may be. So no real downside that I can think of...

i have been trying to download the new cd just because i can't wait any longer. i was trying to hold out until the release but it was too much. but i will definitely be purchasing the cd, so i also don't have too much guilt. i wish that i could order the cd from amazon.com and receive it on the release date, not have it shipped on the release date. i will go buy the cd in the store because i want it as soon as possible, so i am having a hard time buying off amazon.com for the stream because it don't think i want to buy it twice right now. but i really do appreciate the service that is being offered through amazon. its a great idea.
and now i'm living in the cold but i'm looking for the sign |
