Amazon sells DRM-free songs at affordable prices, but geographic limitations make no sense for an online business selling digital media in the internet age. Every release is a global release. If your store is US-only, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. Amazon, learn a lesson or two from bleep.com

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Don't let your facts and reason stand in the way of these commenters' schadenfreude.

And let's not even mention his bandmate John, another musician target for a random act of violence. He's probably had it coming too, right?!

Fuck Noel and Oasis, I'm way more appalled with people here being so quick to blame the victim of an attack, and express feeling entertained by something so despicable. Age of the internet.

I thought the album was called "Dig out your soul". What's up with that "own" there on the post?

Here's what Beck himself says, in his 52 favorite album covers piece on Vanity Fair (2006, http://tinyurl.com/5sw8f4 ): "Highway 61 Revisited is one of the first great anti-covers. Dylan looks burnt, shirt wrinkled--like he's waiting for catering at the gig or something. And somebody's just randomly walked in behind him. In an era of Patti Page-style, perfectly lit and posed covers, this cover was a defecation. And these days you'd rarely see such a throwaway picture on such an "important" album."

By Blue Note'd album art you surely meant Columbia'd "Highway 61 Revisited" album art, right?

You might want to update that "hasn't leaked yet" part up there. It just did.

Band To Watch: Threatmantics

Threatmantics are a scruffy Welsh rock trio that throw some wrinkles into the scruffy rock formula: Instead of a lead guitarist, they have a lead John Cale viola, and their drummer does double-time with a keyboard. The two guys mixing...

Premature Evaluation: The Killers - Day & Age

The Killers did good with Hot Fuss, their flashy debut of hooky Vegas new wave. Their look and glitzy synth tones were dialed directly into Indie '04, and after a few years of touring and fan base swelling, they talked...

OldStand: Rolling Stone, September 13, 1984
