also, this just got dave and me laughing…from the wikipedia article on band aid:
“Strangely, although he wasn’t invited, Blur’s frontman and songwriter Damon Albarn appeared at the sessions, wanting to somehow assist the recording process of the charity single. He wasn’t allowed to sing, but Bono advised him as to how to be most useful for the singers. ‘I asked him to make the tea,’ the U2 frontman explained to Xfm, ‘I saw him on Thursday night. He said “I don’t know what to do.” I said, “Make tea.” He said “You really think so?” I said, “Yeah, make tea!”‘ Albarn quite happily responded, and thus served biscuits and tea for the participants, as well as appearing briefly in the video, at which Bono ‘fatherly’ commented: ‘Good on him. I always knew that boy would turn out good in the end.’”

So, you’re saying i shouldn’t post that 12-minute bootleg of Shellac’s “Didn’t We Deserve A Look At You the Way You Really Are” or the entire 3 CD Mclusky best of compilation?

wow, that was…quick. well done, commissar.

it is VERY important to put a disclaimer in your posts if you use this, guys…we want people to be able to check out music but NOT download. we don’t need the legal hassles. or the bandwidth crap either - just use the new player with some decorum, that’s all i’m asking.

now i am going to be humming “band aid” all day. good times.

That’s so sweet!

A note: I’m an iPod user, but i have my iTunes set to convert files to mp3 instead of m4a specifically because of stuff like this. There’s also a feature in iTunes to take anything you already imported as a m4a and convert it to mp3. So there should be no worries.
