TMBG have their own MP3 store now. It works on the honor system (that is to say, no DRM). I'll probably get "The Spine" on CD, but some of that other stuff is attractive.
5. This album does more mining of older musical styles than "Mink Car" did; there's a couple of quasi-rockabilly songs, one piece of late-Beatle psychedelia, some late-70s/early-80s prog rock ("Prevenge"; "Broke In Two"), one Mitch-Miller-ish song that's kind of like the jokey stuff on "Flood". I wonder if it's going to provoke the kind of controversy that spun around Usenet when "John Henry" came out; it's a slight stylistic departure from what they've been doing since the mid-90s, though by now TMBG fans ought to be used to stylistic departures. The two songs from "The Spine" that were pre-released on "Indestructible Object" were more "Mink Car"-ish, as is "Experimental Film".
