Maybe it's because I didn't do it on Friday(I got off work at 4:30 and it started at 6pm and I don't have access to a computer except when I'm at work) Anyways I'm trying to watch it now and all I get is the sound, but not the image.

A couple people have mentioned that so far. The EMusic newsletter I got refers to "cutting edge audio technology Real/WMA audio streams", so I think it was never meant to be video. I remember thinking at the time that that sounded a little cheesy, if you're trying to lure subscribers to TMBG Unlimited. The audio is barely half of a live show, you go to a show to SEE the band. Unless, of course, you're blind.... but I digress. Everybody's computers are healthy, it's your expectations that were overclocked. Sorry bout that.

And the newsletter and link do say that it's audio, although it's sort of hidden on both, but the little teaser at the top of the Unlimited page that was up for so long just said "webcast." Not to complain, but I think they should have had the decency to tell us that. I was excited about it for so long, then they changed the date, and I was excited about it for a little longer. I even invited a bunch of passive fans over to watch it, and ended up looking like a complete idiot. Thank you, EMusic, for giving me my money's worth. Jesus. On the other hand, it was still a great listen. I don't know if they've been regularly playing "S-E-X-X-Y" like that, with Mr. Miller playing a killer guitar, but it was an amazing version. Besides, I'd almost pay seven dollars for that great "Hovering Sombrero" video alone. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Gramatically incorrect and very very lame. Hear and audio? I dig TMBG Unlimited..thats is a lot of music you can get for $10 a month..ive already discoreverd a couple of very cool bands, not to mention having the Costello Catalog in MP3. I just hope Emusic stays afloat, its hurting big time. They have the best model for downloadable music, but are doomed to suffer until napster dies..their stock is trading at low of 55 cents or something close to that..crazy. At that price, an unfavorable ruling for Napster could see emusic stock double or triple in price in a couple of days..not for the faint of heart though. I consider this very TMBG, I hope the boys have some shares they can unload on a spike. These foolish opinions are mine alone, i am not an employee of emusic (are there any left?). I have an unpleasant prediction..the TMBG Unlitmited fleeces will actually be EMusic Unlimited Fleeces instead and we will all get really upset and get nowhere in trying for a replacement. I hope Im wrong.

Well, you ARE basing your opinions of how these guys act in their private lives on how they act on stage. That might not be totally amiss; I would guess that Flans probably IS more outgoing than Linnell. We don't know that for sure, though; we only know that Flans likes to ham it up at shows, and that Linnell is afraid of his fans. This doesn't really give any indication as to how they are in their private lives, with each other or with anyone else. -- Eat your broccoli, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/fablesto/ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Well, if you consider the fans who look at theymightbegiants.com and/or subscribe to this list to be the "most devoted," I guess that's true. I thought at first that it wasn't too much different from album tracks ending up there (as Kay said), but, after thinking about it, I can see that this might be even MORE annoying. I mean, if you download the tracks and don't buy the CD, you miss out on a lot. There's cover art, liner notes, and the fact that you have a hard copy of the songs. With TMBG Unlimited, on the other hand, you don't get much besides MP3's, so it would be annoying to see someone get EVERYTHING you had to pay for for free. -- Eat your broccoli, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/fablesto/ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Well, I guess non-fans sort of matter, because every album they buy means that the Johns get money. Then again, the Johns get this money even if the person who bought the album did so because they thought TMBG was a quirky novelty band, so maybe it all balances out. -- Eat your broccoli, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/fablesto/ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
