They Might Be Giants Open Their Own Music Store

Posted by timothy on from the there-must-be-giants dept.

slothdog writes "They Might Be Giants have opened their own music store, featuring "highest quality" (256kbps LAME) un-DRM-encumbered mp3's. There are only two CDs currently available (at $0.99/song or $9.99/album), but presumably more will be added as time goes on. Looks like a great way to directly support the artists."

      I don't remember which consonant to put the heavy-metal umlaut over, so "Spinal Tap" will have to do.

      Just take a cue from Mötlëy Crüë - thë mörë ümläüts, thë härdër yøü røck. It's some kind of rule or something.

      Or was it "the more umlauts, the harder you suck"? I can never remember...

    Clicking on the "You dont have flash - click here for the text version" pops up a TMBG guy telling me "Get flash you hippie"
