Barenaked USB Drive

Posted by Zonk on from the not-a-bad-deal dept.

CryptoKnight writes "The Barenaked Ladies are releasing their next album via a reusable 128 MB USB flash drive. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer article: 'Rather than distribute via CD, DVD or download, the Barenaked Ladies are making their newest selection of songs, videos and exclusive material available on a USB flash drive. Nettwerk Music Group is releasing Barenaked on a Stick beginning today, says the Hollywood Reporter. It plays on PCs, Macs and any other audio product with a USB port -- like some car stereos -- and costs $30.'"

    If you buy one you can copy the songs off onto your computer and then copy whatever you want onto the USB drive.

    Think of it. With this device you can keep 128MB of raw data under there.

    Hah! I just made you say underwear!

    Considering that you have broadband, you get the content faster and without the physical waist.

    That's weird, having broadband and fast content have increased my physical waist.
