Great comment from Stereogum's In Rainbows wrap up.

Is it just me, does anyone really like the fact that this way of releasing an album makes the whole listening experience much more communal and egalitarian?

We've got no reviews from elite publications to go on, and at this point early in the game everyone's take on the album matters and is interesting to read. I don't know if releasing it the traditional method would've garnered such a lively discussion.

Anyway, today is a great day for music lovers and people who like talking about music.

I love the aesthetic of these.

The Cadyville Sauna in upstate New York. The mirrored walls reflect the surrounding forrest, and make certain elements of the building appear to be floating.

Back when I posted this I didn't have a way for people to give feedback. Now I do, and someone anonymously suggested two more Beatles' names that have alliteration. Here's the list with their additions:

Sexy Sadie
Henry The Horse
Maggie Mae
Mean Mr. Mustard
Mr. Moonlight
Polythene Pam
Rocky Raccoon

Thanks person from New Zeland who wrote in, and to everyone who has written me notes.

Also, has anyone seen Across the Universe? What'd you think?
