Ripping the full quality version of Missing Cleveland off Myspace was fun.
P.S. And no, before anyone asks, I am not going to share the full quality version of the song. If you want it, figure out how to rip it too.
The question still remains, if you were that concerned, why post at all? Or at least explain your position in this initial post, as you must admit you came across very sarcastically.
Also, if you were concerned about the legalities, couldn't "
8.19 circumventing or modifying, attempting to circumvent or modify, or encouraging or assisting any other person in circumventing or modifying any security technology or software that is part of the MySpace Services" be interpreted to include what you did by "circumventing" the security involved of not allowing a download of Scott's song?
I cant wait for this album, and I understand what Scott meant here, but it sounds very back handed. Without STP there would be no "Happy in Galoshes". He's trying to say he expects it to sell sub-par to an STP album (which would be an accomplishment considering SLDDs sales), because STP fans might not get it. It comes off as spiteful and insulting to his fan base though.
The 4 stp boys need to learn what not to discuss in interviews (i.e., this above comment, how much money they are making on the reunion tour, etc). Scott keeps going back to this "commerce" thing, but it was he just a few months ago was talking about how STP needed a better bookend. I love Scott and STP. 12BB is my favorite disc of anything with SW on it, but still Scott needs to learn when to shut his mouth and let the music speak for itself. He's getting so condescending towards his fans.
I also echo the other sentiment here: what is up with that artwork! Yeesh...
It's just such a ridiculous comment. I mean, is he NOT being artistic in STP or VR? Was he NOT artistic on
12 Bar Blues? Is
Happy in Galoshes going to turn off any STP fans that
12 Bar Blues didn't?
Besides, while "independant" artists use myspace to get their name out, for established artists it's really just free advertising*cough*commerce*cough* tool for established artists. That's not even mention that
Spin*cough*commerce*cough* is streaming a song, or that his fame and fortune*cough*commerce*cough* enabled him to make this record, or that the fans who pay to see him play*cough*commerce*cough* are the very fans he doesn't care about. Nice.
