--- Quote from: sp2 ---Plenty of people still buy the album. In fact, album leaks probably generate more hype surrounding an album before it comes out, which leads to more folks buying the album than would have done so sans leak.

I can see this being the case with a strategic leak, if the company puts out a couple of songs so people have a preview. But I know there are a lot of less scrupulous people who would just download the whole thing and not bother even trying to pick the album up. Anectodal evidence, like "it probably increases sales," doesn't convince me that leaks increase album sales.
I would like free music, but on the other hand artists deserve to be compensated and need to be compensated.

Twin cinema by the New Pornographers. I've had it for a month now, and it's street release dateis five days away still.

I got that, it's pretty good stuff. Most certainly going to pick it up.

um, i've had it for at least 2 weeks... probably closer to a month.
it was ok, i guess, but it isn't worth the 15 dollars to me (it's just not my style) ;)
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
the death cab cd, on the other hand, is not that good at all. WAYYYYYYYY overproduced. #5 "i will follow you into the dark" is probably the best song on there.
Sigur Ros - Takk
i was sorta dissapointed with the sigur ros cd, except for #8 "gong" - it is vibrant and alive instead of sleepy like the rest of the album. yes, i realize it is sigur ros, but agaetis byjurn (or however the fuck it's spelled) was alive in that sense.... maybe i'm just retarded.
i have half of the magnolia electric cd... i like it so far.
