a-boy, you could totally get 63rd place if you put your heart into it.
keep watching the torrents i guess. i'd set you up myself if i was actually going to participate, but i'm just passing on the news today.
BTW, i think it's a little bogus to be paying for the stems, too, but what're you gonna do. i think the whole thing about the last year of radiohead's career has been investigating other ways for all musicians to make a living. i mean, if NIN can make 1.6 million in a week by posting four albums worth of instrumental also-rans, whiy can't radiohead see if there's a potential to make a living allowing themselves to be remixed.
plus, i know it's the principle that folks are objecting to, not the price tag, but it is only $4.95 - have one less pint next time you hit the pub, skip going to starbucks one day, rifle through your pockets next time you're doing laundry

don't get me wrong: i think it's absoutely stupid/arrogant/whatever to charge money for the remix files.
but hey. nevertheless i wanna do it.

yay.

i'd say the big hit radiohead and nin got with their move is a call for searching new ways of distribution for indy-artists, because once this will be making it into total mainstream. the average joe-electronic, will not see any daylight in this distribution-model anymore.
it'S like always with capitalist-culture. once a different mode of distribution/thinking/acting (whatever) is going to be established, it will be absorbed through the mode of capitalism. the conseuqence is to search new ways. and i think we have just seen the dawn of this process.
it's like deleuze said in postscriptum to the society of control: there's no need for fear nor hope. just to a need to find new weapons.

i was just giving you a hint, that promoting to download copyright protected stuff from some torrent-site is something, that's not liked to be seen at the em411
