One of my favorite bands, the Barenaked Ladies have a new album, Barenaked Ladies Are Me, out on their own label. (NPR’s Weekend Edition had a good interview (RealAudio or windows media formats only; sorry) with them on Saturday.) Along with the normal CD and LP formats, the album can be had via download (MP3 or FLAC) and on a USB flash drive. The (256 MB) flash drive contains all the tracks, plus videos and such. It’s good to see established artists embracing new ways of distributing music and engaging their fans, and BNL has been at the forefront of the movement for quite some time.
Yeah, flash sucks, but that’s all we get for the moment.
