I am using Audio Hijack Pro to grab it at 24-bit 44.1kHz from NPR's site (I know I know, overkill, but I don't want it to sound any worse!). I have been waiting for this for a long time, so this seems like the only solution to me. Maybe Danger Mouse will leak all of the production information down the line, who's on what, etc.

i was just about to post a thread on this, good thing i checked first...

i find it kind of funny that you can actually order the book and/or poster, and it comes with a blank CDr to be used however we see fit...
and at the same time the entire record is available on the npr stream despite the legal fiasco... :wink: :wink:
oh and if you look down the page further there is a track listing that at least divulges who's singing on what.

all in all, this is pretty good listen, there's some stuff that seems really brilliant to me, but a couple songs don't quite do it. for me the whole thing is worth it for "Star Eyes" alone with David Lynch on vocals. stuck in my head all day!
the tape is rolling, the ones and zeros are... um... ones and zeroing.

Man, I have to get a copy of this somehow? Hopefully it will be available somewhere?

Hi all,

I can't figure out this p2p stuff and it's getting really complicated trying to set it up to download the album.

Any chance someone could e-mail it to me?

I can't the Iggy Pop song out of my head since I heard it yesterday.

I got my 192 rip version over the weekend on (P2P site WxxTCD) and its freaking amazing material. Not likely to replace the new Wilco LP as best of 2009 so far but still very cool material. I hope a better quality version appears soon
