A bit off topic except for the FLAC part. Anyway I thought maybe a
folks would be interested if for no other reason than the technology
they are adopting or maybe doing remixes, etc.

I caught these guys on NPR this morning. They now have their own
label. They are trusting their customers to do the right thing with
their music. They want folks to spread it around to see if it builds a
market. Granted, the band has been around awhile and has lost most of
it's buzz, but I liked the sound of what I heard.
Cheers,
Mark

Hmmm, I don't see anything about FLAC. The "official bootleg" site
(isn't that an oxymoron?) has downloadable MP3s for sale. I couldn't get
the link to download the album to work for me (#$%&ing Flash), so I
don't know what happens after that. There's a link to an OnTour site
that seems to have audio content but requires a Yahoo widget which
isn't available for Linux :-/
The FAQ does mention that they use MP3 and some FLAC, but that's it.
I like the BNL a lot, but can't say that they're Linux-friendly at all.

Go to where they sell the CD and you can buy CD, LP, mp3 or FLAC
for different prices:

On a related BO topic, has anyone tried yet the Peter Gabriel free
do-your-own-remixes ?
And then, since at least 10 years now, Phish always let concert goers
record live shows (they had special front rows to do so) and distribute
the recordings all around no problemo. Maybe more bands should be doing
that.

Grateful Dead anyone? They even sent a former member to fight for your
right to the EFF. ;)

Goes without saying, Phish are all DeadHeads aren't they? Shame all the
SoundBoard recordings got pulled, but the Dead have still probably put out
more free recordings than anyone and really promoted the idea. It's a great
proof of concept even if you can't stand their music. I'm currently studying
the early '80's, the two year period between Brent Mydland joining and Jerry
getting back into smack produced some awesome gigs by anyone's standards.
