Look at me go... 3 posts in a single day... (Although the one about Lance should be considered yesterday(he won today's stage btw))


Last week while at a photo shoot, the upcoming album was stolen from U2. There are many articles at U2 Interference. I like to point out this article about the robbery. It says that if the CD is released on the internet this week, U2 will immediately react putting the new album for sale on the iTunes music store. Then the CD will be in stores by the end of the month (note that is 9 days from when he said that!)


Personally I hope it doesn't show up on the net. While I am so jonesing for new songs, and would love to hear it, I think it is important to release it when the band wants it released. Plus I don't want to buy it twice! I would probably do that just to hear the new songs, but would go get the CD when it hit stores. Of course I haven't bought anything from iTunes, and don't plan to. My reason is simple. The AAC files you download from there cannot be played on my empeg. Sure I could burn them to CD, then re-rip them, but I would lose quality! Not to mention that I encode all my MP3's at high variable bit rates. 128 CBR just isn't good enough!


Now the good stuff. Early Moses now has a website! This is Ross Childress' (formerly of Collective Soul) new band! I have totally been jonesing for their new stuff! And if you look there is a link called "Listen" where you can hear portions of 4 new songs! I think they rock, and I am totally stoked for a CD to be released. Also on the contact page you can email Ross directly! It also lists addresses and phone numbers... I wonder who would answer?? Anyways be sure to check them out!
