How exactly does that announcement mesh with this announcement.

I assumed that the Apple/EMI no-DRM announcement was EMI's attempt to climb out of a hole. Maybe it was just a move to cater to a buyer.

Yes, and there are some concerns it will go the way of the Hit Factory.

That's the reason why I posted this in the first place. Abbey Road could close it's doors in a few weeks.

I am reading "Here, There, and Everywhere" and getting all sad and shit about the fate of Abbey Road.

That's the Magical Mystery Room.

heh, so they're being sold to Warner's.. sigh. Albini is going to have to amend The Problem With Music, beginning with:
